Deliver Me from Nowhere is an upcoming American biographical musical drama film about American rock singer, songwriter, and guitarist Bruce Springsteen. The film is written and directed by Scott Cooper based on Warren Zanes' 2023 book and stars Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen.
Premise
[edit]The film will follow Bruce Springsteen on his journey to make his sixth album, a departure from his previous work and one representing the Boss at his most stripped-down and personal. Springsteen recorded Nebraska in the sparest, least fussy way possible—on a four-track cassette in his bedroom in New Jersey. This was a few years before he and his E Street Band became a phenomenon with Born in the U.S.A.[1]
Cast
[edit]- Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen
- Jeremy Strong as Jon Landau, Springsteen's manager and record producer.
- Paul Walter Hauser as Mike Batlan, Springsteen's recording engineer during the Nebraska sessions.
- Odessa Young as Faye
- Stephen Graham as Douglas Springsteen, Bruce’s father with whom he had a complicated relationship.
- Johnny Cannizzaro as Steven Van Zandt
- Harrison Gilbertson
Production
[edit]The project was first announced in March 2024, with Bruce Springsteen and his manager Jon Landau said to be actively involved with it. Producers are Scott Stuber, his first project since leaving as Chief of Film at Netflix, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Scott Cooper, Warren Zanes, and Eric Robinson, with Cooper writing and directing the adaptation of Zanes' non-fiction book of the same name. Jeremy Allen White was reported to be in talks to portray Springsteen and A24 was expected to acquire the distribution rights.[2][3][4] However, it was later revealed 20th Century Studios had acquired the film in a heated bidding war with A24, joining the project as financier and distributor. In May 2024, it was reported that Jeremy Strong was in talks to play Jon Landau.[5] Strong confirmed the casting in October 2024.[6] In June 2024, Paul Walter Hauser and Odessa Young joined the cast.[7] In September, Stephen Graham joined the cast as Bruce's father Douglas Springsteen,[8] while Harrison Gilbertson and Johnny Cannizzaro were added the following month.[9][10]
Principal photography began on October 28, 2024.[11][12][13] Filming is taking place primarily in New York and New Jersey, with additional photography in Los Angeles.[13][14]
Release
[edit]Deliver Me from Nowhere is set to be released theatrically by 20th Century Studios in 2025.[13]
