20th Century Studios this morning shared a first look at Jeremy Allen White suited up as Bruce Springsteen in Deliver Me From Nowhere, the studio’s forthcoming biopic based around the making of the musician’s 1982 album Nebraska.
The film is currently in production. In the first look pic, The Bear actor can be seen donning a typically Springsteen-esque fit: a plaid shirt and biker jacket.
Scott Cooper is directing the biopic. In his first move since exiting as longtime Netflix Film head, Scott Stuber is producing with Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Eric Robinson. Also starring are Harrison Sloan Gilbertson, Odessa Young, and Paul Walter Hauser.
White and Springsteen recently linked in real life at the premiere of the documentary Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band. White appeared at the film’s screening at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City, where he posed for pictures with Springsteen.
Speaking to Deadline at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards, White teased the project.
“I’m so excited to start this thing,” he said. “We’re going to start pretty soon. You know, I don’t want to talk about it too much. It feels wrong before getting there and starting the thing.”
He continued, “But I can say I’ve got a really beautiful team of people helping me and Bruce has been really lovely and supportive and available, which has made this whole process an extra joy. His support and Jon Landau, his management support, who has a large role in the film as well. So I feel really lucky.”
