The first official trailer for Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere has been released, providing fans with an exciting glimpse into the life and music of legendary artist Bruce Springsteen. In this trailer, we see Jon Landau, portrayed by Jeremy Strong, making a crucial statement to Columbia Records executive Al Teller, played by David Krumholtz. Landau asserts, “Here’s what I want you to understand, this is not about either one of us. This is not about the charts. This is about Bruce Springsteen. And these are the songs that he wants to work on right now.” This powerful declaration sets the tone for the film, emphasizing the focus on Springsteen's artistic vision.
The trailer opens with a captivating scene featuring Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen, who is seen in his New Jersey bedroom, surrounded by vintage furniture. He is preparing to record with his engineer Mike Batlan, played by Paul Walter Hauser. In this intimate setting, Springsteen expresses his desire for authenticity in his music, saying, “Don’t need to be perfect. I want it to feel like I’m in the room by myself.” This moment highlights the raw and personal nature of the making of his iconic album, Nebraska, which was released in 1982.
Deliver Me From Nowhere is set to hit theaters on October 24, offering an in-depth look at Springsteen during a pivotal time in his career. The biopic trailer features poignant glimpses of Springsteen's rugged childhood, showcasing his relationship with his father, played by Stephen Graham, as well as a romantic subplot involving a woman named Faye, portrayed by Odessa Young. In addition to these personal narratives, the trailer also captures the electrifying atmosphere of Springsteen’s live performances, with him delivering a passionate rendition of his classic hit, Born to Run, amid flashing lights and an energetic crowd.
Director Scott Cooper shared his thoughts on the project, stating, “Making Springsteen was deeply moving as it allowed me to step inside the soul of an artist I’ve long admired — and to witness, up close, the vulnerability and strength behind his music.” He continues, “The experience felt like a journey through memory, myth, and truth. And more than anything, it was a privilege to translate that raw emotional honesty to the screen, and in doing so, it changed me.” Cooper expresses gratitude to both Springsteen and Jon Landau for the opportunity to tell their compelling story.
As the release date approaches, anticipation builds for Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, a film that promises to explore the depths of one of music's most influential figures and his creative journey.
