The story is small scale and deeply personal -- but also examines what makes the 'Born to Run' star a compelling artist.
Jeremy Allen White , the star of The Bear and one of those actors who is currently being fancast in just about everything, recently signed on to play rock icon Bruce Springsteen in Deliver Me From Nowhere . The biopic will center on the development of Nebraska, Springsteen's groundbreaking 1983 album, and is based on the book by Warren Zanes' 2023 book Deliver Me From Nowhere : The Making of Bruce Springsteen 's Nebraska.
Nebraska wasn't a record that had a bunch of hit singles like The River or Born in the U.S.A. did -- but it earned him the respect of a lot of critics and music nerds who had previously seen Springsteen as less serious than some of his contemporaries. At the time, nobody knew that this creative milestone had only happened after a truly bizarre story of the album's creation, and alongside Springsteen suffering with serious mental health struggles for the first time.
Zanes's book is incredibly well-structured, well-researched, and has a number of scenes that read as cinematic. You can easily imagine how it will translate well to the screen. As much as that, it's a story that takes place over a very concentrated period of time, and gives clear stakes and a clear victory at the end. That's something that wouldn't work with, say, Springsteen's sprawling autobiography Born to Run .
