Jeremy Allen White Channels The Boss in First Trailer for Springsteen Biopic — Oscar Buzz Begins

Netflix’s 20th Century Studios has just unveiled the first trailer for Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, a gripping new biopic that casts Jeremy Allen White — better known as the star of The Bear — in the formidable role of Bruce Springsteen.

Directed by Scott Cooper, famed for his Oscar-winning work on Crazy Heart, the film delves deep into one of the most intimate and raw chapters of the rock legend’s career: the making of the 1982 album Nebraska.

Unlike typical glossy music biopic, Deliver Me From Nowhere opts for a stripped-down, introspective approach, capturing the mood of Springsteen’s bleak and haunting work during that period. The supporting cast is equally impressive, featuring Jeremy Strong as Springsteen’s steadfast manager Jon Landau, Stephen Graham as his father Douglas, and Paul Walter Hauser as the recording engineer Mike Batlan. Notably, Springsteen himself alongside Landau has been closely involved in the production, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the portrayal.

With the trailer now out, there’s palpable excitement that this film could join the ranks of recent music biopics such as Elvis and Bohemian Rhapsody in the race for awards season glory. The quiet intensity of the film, paired with White’s striking performance, suggests it might well strike a chord with both critics and audiences alike. Scheduled for theatrical release on October 24, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere is shaping up to be one of the most compelling musical dramas of the year — one that truly honours the legacy of The Boss in all his complexity.
