Jeremy Allen White will star as Bruce Springsteen in the upcoming film Deliver Me From Nowhere
It 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.
White completes shooting Season 4 of The Bear in June. He is coming off his first Emmy win for his performance as the burned-out Michelin-star winning chef Carmy, who resurfaces trying to resurrect the Chicago sandwich shop left him by his late brother. This leaves White all summer to get into that Asbury Park mindset with Cooper.
