As a long-time fan of both Bruce Springsteen and Jeremy Allen White, I am absolutely thrilled to hear about this upcoming biopic! Having grown up with the Boss’s music blasting through my childhood home, I can only imagine how perfect it is for Jeremy to bring Bruce to life on the big screen.

‘So Jeremy Allen White as… Jeremy Allen White… in denim,’ one X user wrote.

The movie “Deliver Me From Nowhere” is based on a novel of the same title penned by Warren Zane. According to its director and screenwriter, Scott Cooper, working on this project was both incredibly humbling and exhilarating.

In a statement to Variety, Cooper expressed that the album’s honest, uncensored depiction of life’s struggles and strength struck a deep chord within him.

The goal of our movie is to convey the same inspiring essence found in Warren Zanes’ story about Bruce’s life. We strive to portray this tale honestly and with optimism on the big screen, respecting Bruce’s memory by delivering an emotionally moving cinematic journey.

The main filming sites will be various places in both New York and New Jersey, yet some scenes might get filmed in Los Angeles as well.
