Acting powerhouse Jeremy Allen White is a performer who totally commits to his performances and he’s bringing all out the stops as he steps into the shoes of The Boss, Bruce Springsteen, for a emotionally raw depiction of the famed singer-songwriter’s greatest ever comeback with his lauded 1982 ‘Nebraska’ album in director Scott Cooper’s Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere. And this is shaping up to be a deeply raw and intense cinematic experience for moviegoers.
Watch the all-new trailer for Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere here:
Here’s the official synopsis:
Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere chronicles the making of Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 “Nebraska” album when he was a young musician on the cusp of global superstardom, struggling to reconcile the pressures of success with the ghosts of his past. Recorded on a 4-track recorder in Springsteen’s New Jersey bedroom, the album marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most enduring works—a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching for a reason to believe.
Director Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart, Hostiles) is bringing out all the stops as he steps into the mind of a living, breathing American legend with this story of Bruce Springsteen’s creative exodus and rediscovery of his musical gift as he crafted the famed ‘Nebraska’ album, a raw, haunted acoustic record that marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most enduring works.
Cooper, who wrote the script for the screen based on the book “Deliver Me from Nowhere” by Warren Zanes, said, “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. 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. I cannot thank Bruce and Jon Landau enough for allowing me to tell their story.”
This trailer is packed with a visceral, and deeply emotional energy, and Allen White teases a performance that will take him from A to Z as Springsteen as he has to comes to terms with his dysfunctional and emotionally-neglectful past as he discovers himself again, and in the process an all-new side to his talents and artistry as a musician. White brings a quite-reserve here as Springsteen, and as he’s known to do he fully invests in his dramaric delivery, which will take audiences from the a raging-inner conflcit to flat out rock star riot as he takes to the stage.
Deliver Me From Nowhere is shaping up to be a very special watch, and along woith White also features a stacked cast including the likes of Jeremy Strong as Jon Landau; Springsteen’s manager and record producer, Paul Walter Hauser as Mike Batlan; Springsteen’s recording engineer during the Nebraska sessions, Odessa Young as Faye; Bruce’s love interest, Marc Maron as Chuck Plotkin; Springsteen’s producer and mixing engineer and David Krumholtz as Al Teller; the record executive at Columbia Records. All of these performers are bringing their A-game for this picture, and it will be a true rock n’ roll watch.
