The Bear as The Boss: See First Image of Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen in New Film

Share

Scott Cooper’s “Deliver Me from Nowhere” has begun production.

Jeremy Allen White, famous for playing Carmie on “The Bear,” stars as Bruce Springsteen circa 1981. It’s the story of Bruce writing the “Nebraska” album.

I scooped news of this movie being made earlier this year.

Other characters in the movie are Bruce’s manager Jon Landau, Stevie van Zandt, Bruce’s father, guitar tech Mike Batlan.

They’re played respectively by Emmy winner and Tony nominee Jeremy Strong, Johnny Cannizzaro, Paul Walter Hauser, and Sir Stephen Graham.

“Beginning production on this film is an incredibly humbling and thrilling journey,” said Cooper in a release. “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.”
