Scott Stuber, former head of Netflix Film, is embarking on his first major project post-Netflix era, teaming up with Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith Vein & Eric Robinson for a film about the iconic musician, Bruce Springsteen.
Titled “Deliver Me From Nowhere,” the narrative feature will delve into the making of Springsteen’s seminal album, Nebraska, inspired by Warren Zanes’ book.
Jeremy Allen White, known for his role in “The Bear,” is the leading candidate to portray Springsteen, with talks underway with A24 for production.
Springsteen’s personal struggles, including his battle with depression, heavily influenced the Nebraska album, marking a significant departure from his earlier works like Born To Run and Darkness on the Edge of Town.
Director Scott Cooper, known for his music-themed film “Crazy Heart,” brings his expertise to the project, capturing the essence of Springsteen’s journey. Springsteen and his manager Jon Landau are actively engaged in the film’s development, adding authenticity to the narrative.
The film promises to offer insights into Springsteen’s creative process, shedding light on the personal and artistic challenges he faced during the album’s creation. With Springsteen’s involvement and Cooper’s directorial vision, “Deliver Me From Nowhere” is poised to be a compelling exploration of one of music’s most iconic figures.
As details continue to emerge, anticipation grows for this cinematic ode to Bruce Springsteen and the transformative power of his music. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting collaboration between Stuber, Cooper, and A24.
