18 june 2025 в 20:13
Few musicians are loved as much as Bruce Springsteen. In recent years, The Boss has given fans more opportunities to peek into his life through his autobiography «Born to Run» and his Broadway show, and now it has been announced that the first official biographical film about Bruce is in the works. The new film will focus on the creation of one of his most popular albums and will tell the pivotal moment in the singer’s career «Born in the USA».
Although details about the upcoming film are still unknown, several exciting details have been reported by various sources, and it seems like it will be a great film for Boss fans. Hollywood Life has all you need to know about «Deliver Me From Nowhere» here.
«Deliver Me From Nowhere» will be released on October 24, 2025. It was announced that the film was in the works in April 2024. President of Disney Live Action and 20th Century Studios David Greenbaum announced this in a statement. «It is a unique honor to collaborate with Bruce Springsteen, an inspiring and incomparable artist who means so much to so many», - he said in a statement published on BruceSpringsteen.net. «The deep authenticity of his story is in the capable hands of my friend Scott Cooper, with whom I am pleased to collaborate again».
As announced in David’s statement, screenwriter and director Scott Cooper has started writing the script and directing the film. Scott has previously worked on films like «Crazy Heart» and «Hostiles». With the announcement, the director shared his excitement about being at the helm of the film. «Bruce Springsteen and 'Nebraska' in particular have had a deep influence on me and my work. Through themes of desperation, disappointment, and the struggles of ordinary Americans, Bruce has created an unparalleled legacy, painting an uncompromising portrait of the human condition. However, amidst the darkness shines a sense of perseverance and hope, reflecting an unwavering spirit. This is the Bruce I have loved and will honor in this film», - he said.
In addition to Scott, the biggest question on every fan’s mind will undoubtedly be who will play The Boss? With the film announcement, «Ted Lasso» star Jeremy Allen White was in talks for the role of Bruce. Jeremy Strong from the series «Succession» was also cast as Bruce’s longtime manager and friend Jon Landau.
Landau himself supported the project in a statement, approving Scott Cooper as the director. «Bruce and I are thrilled that Scott Cooper chose to write and direct a film based on this book — we believe he is the perfect filmmaker for this work», - he said. «We are pleased to have the full and sincere support of the entire 20th and Disney team».
The film will tell the story of the creation of Bruce’s iconic album «Nebraska». While many classic Boss recordings have a full band sound, «Nebraska» is very stripped down. The writing and recording became rock legend. Bruce wrote and recorded the album entirely by himself on a four-track home recording system. Bruce claims that a full band version was recorded at some point, but it was never released.
Released between other mainstream recordings of Bruce like «The River» and «Born in the USA», «Nebraska» shows the singer in a much darker tone as he explores themes of death, crime, and economic hopelessness. The album includes classics like «Atlantic City», «Reason to Believe», and «Mansion on the Hill».
The book is based on Warren Zanes' critically acclaimed book of the same name. While the film will undoubtedly show dramatizations of the events leading to the creation of «Nebraska», the book also follows the influence the album had on emerging musicians over the years. The title is taken from the album track «State Trooper»
