Jeremy Allen White is in his glory as Bruce Springsteen in the first trailer for Deliver Me From Nowhere.
20th Century Studios releases writer-director Scott Cooper‘s biopic movie in theaters Oct. 24. White, known for his Emmy-winning role on The Bear, stars as Springsteen, while Jeremy Strong plays the musician’s longtime manager and record producer Jon Landau.
Deliver Me From Nowhere focuses on the making of Springsteen’s 1982 spare and deeply personal Nebraska, one of the most acclaimed albums of all time. Stephen Graham, Odessa Young, Paul Walter Hauser, Gaby Hoffmann, Johnny Cannizzaro, Harrison Gilbertson, Marc Maron, David Krumholtz and Chris Jaymes round out the cast.
Footage from the film debuted at CinemaCon in April and included White’s stirring rendition of Springsteen’s 1975 single “Born to Run,” which became the singer’s first Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
In the trailer, White declares about the album, “I want it to feel like I’m in the room by myself.” Strong’s Landau later describes Nebraska by saying that with the album, Springsteen is “repairing that hole in himself. Once he’s done with that, he’s going to repair the entire world.”
Cooper helmed the project from his own script that he adapted from Warren Zanes’ 2023 book of the same name. Producers include Cooper, Zanes and Scott Stuber, along with Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Eric Robinson. Both Springsteen and Landau are involved with the film.
The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that record producer Dave Cobb, who has worked with Springsteen, is involved with the film’s music.
During his CinemaCon appearance, White called making the movie a “dream come true” and added, “I feel really lucky. We all had Bruce’s blessing on this film.”
