Jeremy Allen White stars as Bruce Springsteen in « Deliver Me From Nowhere » about the making of « Nebraska »
Jeremy Allen White has swapped his white chef’s coat for a leather jacket and flannel to portray one of rock’s most iconic musicians, Bruce Springsteen.
In a newly released photo, White embodies Springsteen in his « Nebraska » era. The upcoming biopic, « Deliver Me From Nowhere », written and directed by Scott Cooper, delves into the making of Springsteen’s 1982 album. Cooper’s adaptation is based on Warren Zanes’ book of the same name, which chronicles the album’s creation through the perspectives of Springsteen’s collaborators and influences, including Rosanne Cash and Steven Van Zandt.
« Nebraska » is widely celebrated as one of Springsteen’s defining works. Reflecting on its legacy, Springsteen told CBS Sunday Morning last year, « If I had to pick out one album and say, ‘This is going to represent you 50 years from now,’ I’d pick ‘Nebraska.' »
As production gears up, Cooper said in a statement released on Monday, « This film is an incredibly humbling and thrilling journey. »
“Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Nebraska’ has profoundly shaped my artistic vision. The album’s raw, unvarnished portrayal of life’s trials and resilience resonates deeply with me », Cooper furthered.
