If there’s one thing to say about the film industry in the 2020s, it’s that it truly is the era of a Hollywood biopic. From Timothee Chalamet’s Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown to Austin Butler’s portrayal of Elvis, music fans across the globe are flocking to the cinema to experience the often untold stories of some of the biggest names in the business, and now, it appears we have another icon to add to the lineup – Bruce Springsteen.
After announcing the new film, Deliver Me from Nowhere, in March 2024, Deadline was the first to report that Jeremy Allen White was in talks to play the latest screen incarnation of The Boss, and after months of speculation, The Bear star was spotted donning his leather jacket alongside Springsteen himself when production kicked off in October.
With filming now underway, Bruce fans are understandably curious as to what chapter of the rocker’s four-decade career the latest biopic will focus on. Fortunately, the film’s director Scott Cooper has given us a brief teaser of what to expect, so keep scrolling for everything we know so far.
What is Deliver Me from Nowhere about?
Set in the early 1980s, Deliver Me from Nowhere will explore the story behind Bruce Springsteen’s writing, recording, and release of his sixth album, Nebraska.
The album, which is renowned for its raw, stripped back, recording approach was made at a pivotal time in Bruce’s career. While he may have already found success with the 1975 hit Born to Run, and The River, Nebraska saw a 32-year-old Bruce return to his home in Colts Neck, New Jersey, where he recorded the seventeen-track tape entirely in his bedroom.
Two years later, The Boss’ status as an international rock star would be well and truly cemented, with he and the E Street Band releasing Born in the U.S.A. in 1984.
Who is the cast of Deliver Me from Nowhere?
In what many fans have deemed one of the best biopic castings in recent years, Jeremy Allen White will lead the cast of Deliver Me from Nowhere as Bruce Springsteen.
“Bruce has been really lovely and supportive and available, which has made this whole process I think such an extra joy,” Jeremy told People, with Bruce having since been spotted regularly alongside the actor while on set in New Jersey.
Starring alongside Jeremy is Succession star Jeremy Strong as Bruce’s manager, Jon Landau, Paul Walter Hauser as recording engineer Mike Baltan, and Stephen Graham and Gaby Hoffmann as Bruce’s parents, Douglas and Adele Springsteen.
Joining the cast in her first major motion picture role is 26-year-old Australian actress Odessa Young, who will star alongside Jeremy as Bruce’s love interest Faye.
When is the Deliver Me from Nowhere release date?
While an official release date has yet to be announced, the film has been confirmed to be released in cinemas internationally in 2025.
