Springsteen Biopic 'Deliver Me From Nowhere' Premieres at New York Film Festival

Jeremy Allen White stars as Bruce Springsteen in the upcoming biopic "Deliver Me From Nowhere," which focuses on Springsteen's creative and emotional struggles during the making of his 1982 album "Nebraska." The film, directed by Scott Cooper and based on Warren Zanes's biography, eschews traditional biopic conventions to present an intimate, meditative character study of Springsteen in his early 30s, highlighting his artistic integrity amid commercial pressures. White underwent intense preparation, including vocal training and emotional immersion, to authentically portray Springsteen, a process that was personally taxing and involved significant isolation from his family. Springsteen himself endorsed White for the role, praising his authenticity and the actor's ability to convey his inner turmoil and rock star essence. The movie also emphasizes key moments such as the confrontation between Springsteen's manager and record executives, underscoring the struggle to protect the artist's vision. The film's release continues the trend of music biopics exploring influential artists' lives, with critics noting its focus on the quieter, less-explored facets of Springsteen's journey.
