A new trailer was released for ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere,’ starring Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen on the making of his seminal album, Nebraska (1982).
The biopic is written and directed by Scott Cooper, and adapted from Warren Zanes’ 2023 biography, Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska. The film chronicles the development of the album, in which Springsteen retreated to a rented home in NJ with a four-track recorder to create a series of raw, intimate songs. Despite pressure from his record label to release the album along with a full-band, Springsteen ultimately decided to create Nebraska with the home recordings.
Director Scott Cooper said in a press statement: “‘Nebraska’ is where Bruce chose truth over expectation—a choice that still reverberates through everything he’s written since. At that crossroads, he could have chased the bright lights and the roar of arenas, but instead he turned inward, armed only with silence, a four-track recorder, and the courage to confront himself. For him to trust me with telling that story—the most vulnerable chapter of his life—is the greatest honor I’ve ever had as a filmmaker.”
Along with White as Springsteen, the biopic features Jeremy Strong as the musician’s manager, Jon Landau; Marc Maron as producer Chuck Plotkin; Johnny Cannizzaro as Steven Van Zandt; Paul Walter Hauser as guitar tech Mike Batlan; Stephen Graham as Bruce Springsteen’s father, Doug; Odessa Young as a love interest name Faye; Gaby Hoffman as Springsteen’s mother, Adele; and David Krumholtz as Columbia Records executive Al Teller.
Coinciding with the film’s release will be “Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition’ – a five-disc collection featuring a remastered version of the original album, the fabled electric version of Nebraska, as well as the solo outtakes from the era. Pre-order: HERE.
