Deliver Me From Nowhere, starring Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen, is ready to run into theaters this fall.
Writer-director Scott Cooper‘s biopic focusing on the legendary musician known as the Boss is set for theatrical release Oct. 24 from 20th Century Studios, giving it a prime slot amid awards season. Jeremy Strong co-stars as Jon Landau, Springsteen’s manager and record producer.
Deliver Me From Nowhere focuses on the making of Springsteen’s 1982 spare and deeply personal Nebraska, one of the most acclaimed albums of all time. Stephen Graham, Odessa Young, Paul Walter Hauser, Gaby Hoffmann, Johnny Cannizzaro, Harrison Gilbertson, Marc Maron, David Krumholtz and Chris Jaymes round out the cast.
Cooper helmed the project from his own script that he adapted from Warren Zanes’ 2023 book of the same name. Producers include Cooper, Zanes and Scott Stuber, along with Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Eric Robinson. Both Springsteen and Landau are involved with the film.
The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that prolific record producer Dave Cobb, who has worked with Springsteen, Jason Isbell and Brandi Carlile, among others, is involved with the movie’s music.
Springsteen has notched countless accolades in his storied career. This includes 20 Grammys, an Oscar and a Special Tony Award, leaving him just an Emmy shy of EGOT status. His legendary live shows were the focus of last year’s documentary movie Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, streaming on Hulu and Disney+.
White and Strong took the stage at CinemaCon last month to debut Deliver Me From Nowhere’s rousing first trailer, which included footage of White belting out Springsteen’s hit “Born to Run.” White called making the movie a “dream come true” and added, “I feel really lucky. We all had Bruce’s blessing on this film.”
Music biopics remain a top priority for Hollywood following such recent success stories as Paramount’s Bob Marley: One Love and Searchlight’s Timothée Chalamet-led A Complete Unknown, with the latter Bob Dylan-focused feature landing eight Oscar nominations. Currently in the works is Sony’s four-film project about the Beatles that is set for theatrical release in April 2028.
