Jeremy
Allen
White
will
star
as

Bruce
Springsteen
in
the
upcoming
film

Deliver
Me
From
Nowhere,
which
promises
to
chronicle
the
making
of
the
Boss’
stark
1982
album


Nebraska.

According
to

Deadline,
20th
Century
has
officially
closed
a
deal
to
finance
and
release
the
movie,
which
will
be
written
and
directed
by
Scott
Cooper.
Shooting
will
begin
this
fall.

Plans
for

Deliver
Me
From
Nowhere
began
when
producer Eric
Robinson
heard
Springsteen’s
manager
Jon
Landau
praising
the
recently
released
book
of
the
same
name
by
Warren
Zanes
on
a

podcast
with
Marc
Maron.
Robinson
then
teamed
up
with Ellen
Goldsmith-Vein,
and
the
pair
recruited
Cooper
to
adapt
the
book
into
a
film.

“I
think

Nebraska
has
been
a
thing
of
collective
fascination
for
a
long
time,
and
a
book-length
exploration
of
its
making
had
a
ready
audience,”
Zanes
said
in
a
2023
interview
with


Rock
and
Roll
Globe. “I
give
the
recording
credit
for
the
success
of
the
book.
Bruce
released
something
that
was
unfinished,
imperfect,
a
recording
that
couldn’t
be
cleaned
up
to
meet
commercial
standards
–
but
he
felt
in
his
gut
it
was
exactly
right
for
the
songs.
He
made
a
decision
based
solely
on
the
art,
and
we
don’t
see
a
lot
of
this,
for
good
reason.
But
a
lot
of
people
found
it
inspiring,
myself
included.
When
shit
goes
down
in
my
life,
I
reach
for

Nebraska.
And
I’m
one
of
many.
In
writing
the
book,
I
kind
of
wanted
to
know
why.
And
there
are
others
who
seem
to
feel
the
same
way.”

Deadline
reports
that
both
Landau
and
Springsteen
himself
are
actively
involved
in
the
film’s
production.
