The highly anticipated music biopic, "Deliver Me From Nowhere," features Jeremy Allen White, known for his role in "The Bear," portraying the legendary music icon Bruce Springsteen. The first official trailer has been released, showcasing White's impressive transformation into the Boss. This film is helmed by Scott Cooper, the acclaimed director who previously guided Jeff Bridges to an Academy Award for his performance in "Crazy Heart."
"Deliver Me From Nowhere" draws inspiration from Warren Zanes' book, which delves into the making of Springsteen's deeply personal 1982 album, "Nebraska." This biopic aims to provide viewers with an intimate look at the creative process and challenges faced by Springsteen during this pivotal moment in his career.
Alongside Jeremy Allen White, the film features an impressive ensemble cast. Jeremy Strong, known for his roles in "The Apprentice" and "Succession," takes on the role of Jon Landau, Springsteen’s manager. Stephen Graham portrays Springsteen's father, Douglas, while Paul Walter Hauser plays recording engineer Mike Batlan. The cast also includes Odessa Young as Springsteen's love interest Faye, Marc Maron as producer Chuck Plotkin, and Johnny Cannizzaro as E Street Band guitarist Steve Van Zandt.
Additional notable performances include Harrison Gilbertson as Springsteen’s friend Matt Delia, David Krumholtz as Columbia Records executive Al Teller, and Chris Jaymes as mastering engineer Dennis King.
"Deliver Me From Nowhere" joins a growing list of acclaimed biopics about musical legends. Recent films such as "A Complete Unknown," "Elvis," and "Bohemian Rhapsody" have captivated audiences and made a significant impact during awards season. Notably, last year, Timothée Chalamet received a best actor nomination for his portrayal of Bob Dylan, while Rami Malek won the Oscar for his role as Freddie Mercury in "Bohemian Rhapsody." Austin Butler also garnered a BAFTA award for his portrayal of Elvis Presley in "Elvis."
"Deliver Me From Nowhere" is produced by 20th Century Studios, a subsidiary of Disney, with Scott Cooper at the helm along with Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Eric Robinson from the Gotham Group, who played a significant role in developing the project. Both Springsteen and Landau are also involved in the production, ensuring authenticity and depth in the storytelling.
