Jeremy Allen White is in discussions to portray the iconic rock superstar Bruce Springsteen in the upcoming biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere, based on Warren Zanes' book about the making of Springsteen's 1982 album Nebraska. The film is attracting attention from A24 and is set to be helmed by Scott Cooper, known for his work on films like Crazy Heart and Black Mass.
Bruce Springsteen, also known as The Boss, is a music legend renowned for his powerful live performances. Nebraska, his sixth studio album, was a significant release that showcased Springsteen's storytelling prowess and musical talent. The album, featuring Springsteen playing all the instruments himself, was ranked at No. 150 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2020.
Jeremy Allen White, who gained recognition for his role in the FX series The Bear and recently starred in The Iron Claw alongside Zac Efron, is poised to take on the challenging role of portraying Springsteen on screen. White's performance in The Bear has earned him critical acclaim, culminating in his first Emmy Award win earlier this year.
The popularity of music biopics in Hollywood remains strong, with recent successes like Paramount's Bob Marley: One Love proving the genre's enduring appeal. The announcement of Deliver Me From Nowhere and Jeremy Allen White's potential casting as Bruce Springsteen has generated excitement among fans eager to see the story behind the making of Nebraska brought to life on the big screen.
