Jeremy Allen White channels Bruce Springsteen in first trailer for ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere' biopic
Directed by Scott Cooper, known for Crazy Heart, the film is based on Warren Zanes' book chronicling the deeply personal journey behind Nebraska, a stark and emotionally raw album that marked a turning point in Springsteen's career. Cooper, who previously led Jeff Bridges to an Oscar win for his role in Crazy Heart, directs a star-studded ensemble cast for the new project.
Joining White in the cast is Succession and The Apprentice actor Jeremy Strong, portraying longtime Springsteen manager Jon Landau. Stephen Graham plays Douglas Springsteen, the singer's father, while Paul Walter Hauser appears as engineer Mike Batlan. Odessa Young co-stars as Faye, a love interest, and Marc Maron takes on the role of producer Chuck Plotkin. The supporting cast also includes Johnny Cannizzaro as guitarist Steve Van Zandt, Harrison Gilbertson as Matt Delia, David Krumholtz as Columbia Records executive Al Teller, and Chris Jaymes as mastering engineer Dennis King.
Deliver Me From Nowhere is produced by 20th Century Studios, a division of Disney, in collaboration with Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Eric Robinson of the Gotham Group. Both Bruce Springsteen and Jon Landau are involved in the production, lending authenticity to the project.
The film joins a growing wave of musician biopics following in the footsteps of Elvis, Bohemian Rhapsody, and A Complete Unknown, with many garnering awards attention.

'I pitched Coven Academy as a love letter to the YA shows I adored growing up,' Federle said in a statement. 'I'm excited to bring this original story to life alongside my longtime partners at Disney and a truly magical cast and crew.' Disney Branded Television president Ayo Davis added, 'Coven Academy blends supernatural intrigue with relatable themes of friendship, self-discovery, and teen challenges.

Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz stun fans at Bad Bunny concert in Puerto Rico
Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz surprised fans with an unexpected appearance at Bad Bunny's residency concert in San Juan, Puerto Rico, turning what was already one of the summer's hottest shows into a star-studded spectacle. The Oscar-winning couple, known for guarding their private life, were spotted in the VIP section at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico on August 11, where they laughed, danced and mingled with fellow celebrities while enjoying the Caribbean atmosphere. Fans on social media could not get enough of the pair's affectionate display, with clips showing Bardem smiling and dancing alongside Cruz, a far cry from the intense characters he often plays on screen. Their joyful energy was contagious and offered a rare glimpse into their relationship away from the cameras. The highlight of the night came when Bad Bunny invited Cruz on stage to introduce his hit 'Voy a llevarte pa PR.' Dressed in a sleek black lace top and jeans, Cruz electrified the crowd by shouting '¡Acho, PR es otra cosa!' which translates to 'Hey, Puerto Rico is something else!' The crowd erupted, and Bad Bunny praised her stage presence, saying she knew exactly how to work the audience. Cruz later shared moments from the night on Instagram, posting the word 'Impresionante!!' alongside clips of her and Bardem dancing. Fans were quick to celebrate the couple's public appearance, noting how rare it is to see them in such a lively setting. The pair, married for 15 years with two children, have consistently kept their personal lives out of the spotlight. Their relaxed and cheerful presence at the concert, combined with Cruz's spontaneous stage moment, made this appearance even more special. The night offered fans an intimate look at two of Hollywood's most private stars letting loose and embracing the music and culture of Puerto Rico.

Doja Cat announces new album ‘Vie' for September release
Doja Cat has officially announced that her fifth studio album, Vie, will be released on September 26. The Grammy-winning rapper and singer revealed the news in a short video posted to social media, where she posed in front of the Eiffel Tower and repeated the phrase 'Je sais que tu es ma vie,' French for 'I know you are my life.' The announcement comes after months of speculation. Doja Cat has been teasing Vie since October last year, recently confirming that the lead single, 'Jealous Type,' will arrive on August 21. She has already previewed the track with live performances at Outside Lands festival and an intimate set at Club Oasis. Her last full-length album, Scarlet, was released in September 2023 and debuted at number four on the Billboard 200. The record produced two major hits, 'Paint the Town Red' and 'Agora Hills,' which peaked at number one and number seven on the Billboard Hot 100 respectively. In support of Scarlet, she launched an international tour starting on Halloween night in San Francisco and wrapping up at London's Finsbury Park on July 14, 2024. Earlier this year, she dropped Scarlet 2 Claude, a deluxe edition featuring seven new tracks and collaborations with ASAP Rocky and Teezo Touchdown. Beyond music, Doja Cat made headlines for her performance at the 2024 Global Citizen Festival in New York City, where she used her platform to speak on global humanitarian crises, calling for unity and compassion. With Vie, Doja Cat has hinted at a shift in style. Speaking to Variety prior to Scarlet's release, she said she wanted to explore a 'more masculine' sound, moving away from the pop and glitter-heavy aesthetics of her earlier eras. Fans now have just over a month to wait before hearing what that new creative direction will sound like in full.
