“The Bear” star Jeremy Allen White transforms into music icon Bruce Springsteen in the first official trailer for “Deliver Me From Nowhere,” a music biopic about the Boss.
Helmed by Scott Cooper, who directed Jeff Bridges to a best actor Oscar for “Crazy Heart,” his latest project takes a page from Warren Zanes’ book about Springsteen making his very personal 1982 album “Nebraska.”
In addition to White, the cast includes Jeremy Strong (“The Apprentice” and “Succession”) as Jon Landau, Springsteen’s manager; Stephen Graham (“Adolescence”) as Springsteen’s dad Douglas; Paul Walter Hauser (“Richard Jewell”) as recording engineer Mike Batlan; Odessa Young (“The Order”), as Springsteen’s love interest Faye; Marc Maron (“Glow”) as producer Chuck Plotkin; Johnny Cannizzaro (“Jersey Boys”) as E Street Band guitarist Steve Van Zandt; Harrison Gilbertson (“Upgrade”) as Springsteen’s friend Matt Delia; David Krumholtz (“Oppenheimer”) as Columbia record executive Al Teller and Chris Jaymes (“Short Term 12”) as mastering engineer Dennis King.
“Deliver Me From Nowhere” is just the latest biopic about a musical legend, with recent films like “A Complete Unknown,” “Elvis,” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” making their way into the Oscars conversation. Last year, Timothee Chalamet was a best actor nominee for playing Bob Dylan, while Rami Malek won the for portraying Freddie Mercury in “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Austin Butler won the BAFTA award for his take on Elvis Presley in “Elvis.”
“Deliver Me From Nowhere” comes from Disney’s 20th Century Studios and is produced by Cooper with the Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Eric Robinson, who helped develop the project. Springsteen and Landau are also involved with the project.
The film will release in theaters on Oct. 24 Watch the official trailer below.
