20th Century Studios announced production is now underway on Deliver Me from Nowhere starring The Bear‘s Jeremy Allen White as The Boss. Based on Warren Zanes’ 2023 book of the same name, Deliver Me from Nowhere will primarily shoot in New Jersey and New York.
“Beginning production on this film is an incredibly humbling and thrilling journey,” said writer/director Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart). “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. Our film aims to capture that same spirit, bringing Warren Zanes’ compelling narrative of Bruce’s life to the screen with authenticity and hope, honoring Bruce’s legacy in a transformative cinematic experience.
It has been a great pleasure to collaborate with Bruce and Jon [Landau] as I tell their story, and their creative energy fuels every part of this journey. As well, I’m excited to reunite with my friend, David Greenbaum [president, Disney Live Action and 20th Century Studios], as he embarks on his new role at Disney, adding another layer of inspiration to this project.”
Cooper and Eric Robinson developed the project and serve as producers along with Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Scott Stuber. Author Warren Zanes and Tracey Landon are executive producing.
Deliver Me from Nowhere is targeting a 2025 theatrical release.
20th Century Studios released the following description of the film, along with details on Jeremy Allen White’s co-stars:
- Jeremy Strong (Succession), who’s an Emmy-, Golden Globe-, Critics’ Choice-, SAG Award®- and Tony®-winning actor, stars as Springsteen’s long-time mentor and manager, Jon Landau.
- Paul Walter Hauser (Black Bird) portrays guitar tech Mike Batlan.
- Odessa Young (Mothering Sunday) is young Faye, a formative love interest in Springsteen’s life.
- Sir Stephen Graham (Young Woman and the Sea) plays Springsteen’s father.
- Johnny Cannizzaro (Quantum Leap) joins the cast as The E Street Band member Stevie Van Zandt.
“The development of Nebraska, which followed Springsteen’s 1981 ‘The River Tour,’ marked a pivotal time in his life, one that he would only openly talk about decades after its release. It’s regarded as a landmark in his musical odyssey and a source of inspiration for a generation of artists and musicians. Recorded on a 4-track recorder in Springsteen’s New Jersey bedroom and without The E Street Band, Nebraska is considered one of Springsteen’s most enduring works—a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching for a reason to believe,” reads 20th Century Studios’ synopsis. “Among the most recognized South Jersey natives, Springsteen maintains a huge footprint at the Jersey Shore, frequenting local shops, pizza parlors, pubs, restaurants and music venues.”
