Jeremy Allen White’s Tryin’ to Find Some Real
Jeremy Allen White’s Bruce Springsteen biopic is aiming to be this year’s A Complete Unknown. Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere follows the creation of Springsteen’s Nebraska, the album before his more-famous Born in the U.S.A., and is based on Warren Zane’s 2023 Springsteen biography, Deliver Me From Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska. Below, everything we know so far about the Boss biopic.
What’s in the trailer?
The trailer, released June 18, opens with White sampling “The River.” Jeremy Strong monologues as Springsteen’s manager, Jon Landau, about what Springsteen’s doin’ with his writing for Nebraska. “When Bruce was little, he had a floor in the middle of his bedroom,” Strong’s Landau intones over black-and-white flashbacks of Springsteen’s childhood. “The floor, it’s supposed to be solid, you’re s’posed to be able to stand on it. Bruce, he didn’t have that.” Then, the trailer explodes into a performance of “Born to Run” — one of the first clips of White’s Springsteen onstage.
Who’s in the cast?
Alongside White as Springsteen and Strong as Landau, Stephen Graham plays Springsteen’s father, Dutch Springsteen; Gaby Hoffmann is his mother, Adele; Marc Maron is producer Chuck Plotkin; Paul Walter Hauser plays guitar tech Mike Batlan; and David Krumholtz is music executive Al Teller.
Is Jeremy Allen White really singing?
Yep, White did his own vocals for the film. “It’s really great to go down a YouTube rabbit hole and find him at all these different periods in his life and be able to listen to his speaking voice as well as his singing voice,” White told GQ in August 2024. ‘That’s kind of been the deal, just listening to him a lot and watching him a lot. It’s been really fun preparing.”
When is it coming out?
Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere comes out October 24, 2025.
