In advance of the highly anticipated film, opening October 24, “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere,” 20th Century Studios dropped an all-new trailer that, following its stellar reception at the Telluride Film Festival, currently enjoys a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
“Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere” follows the making of Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 “Nebraska” LP that was initially recorded on a 4-track recorder in the musician’s New Jersey bedroom. The full length collection marked a pivotal moment in The Boss’ life and is considered one of his most enduring works – a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching for a reason to believe.
In the words of the film’s director, Scott Cooper “‘Nebraska’ is where Bruce chose truth over expectation—a choice that still reverberates through everything he’s written since. At that crossroads, he could have chased the bright lights and the roar of arenas, but instead he turned inward, armed only with silence, a four-track recorder, and the courage to confront himself. For him to trust me with telling that story—the most vulnerable chapter of his life—is the greatest honor I’ve ever had as a filmmaker.”
About his own biopic, Springsteen said “This film takes a couple years out of my life and looks at them very closely, a time when I made ‘Nebraska’ and went through some personal difficulties.” “I’m so appreciative of Jeremy Allen White and the entire cast for their wonderful and moving performances—and Scott Cooper, one of the most generous collaborators I’ve ever worked with.”
Adapted from Warren Zanes’ book of the same name, Jeremy Allen White portrays Bruce Springsteen, Jeremy Strong plays Springsteen’s long-time confidant and manager, Jon Landau; Paul Walter Hauser as guitar tech Mike Batlan; Odessa Young as Faye; Stephen Graham as Springsteen’s father, Doug; Gaby Hoffman as Springsteen’s mother, Adele; and David Krumholtz as Columbia executive, Al Teller.
