Springsteen Deliver Me From Nowhere trailer: Jeremy Allen White is aiming for the stars in this musical biopic
Springsteen Deliver Me From Nowhere, starring Jeremy Allen White, dropped its trailer on Wednesday and it is exactly what the fans were hoping for. Here, we see Jeremy playing Bruce Springsteen, in the much anticipated film and if his performance in The Bear hasn't impressed people already, it seems like this will push him to the upper echelon of Hollywood. In the last few years, actors in popular musical biopics have ended up becoming Oscar nominees, and sometimes winners as well, and if this biopic is everything that it seems to be, this could be Jeremy's year.
Apart from Jeremy, the film also stars Jeremy Strong as his manager, Stephen Graham as his father, Paul Walter Hauser, Odessa Young among other actors. The film is directed by Scott Cooper, based on the book 'Deliver Me from Nowhere' by Warren Zanes. The film doesn't look like a traditional biopic that traces the entire life of the singer but follows him during the making of his 'Nebraska' album, with bits and pieces from childhood that left a mark on his identity.
In 2024, Timothee Chalamet appeared in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, that scored him many accolades, and he was also a frontrunner at the Oscars, which was ultimately won by Adrien Brody for The Brutalist. In 2022, Austin Butler played Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann's Elvis and while the film received polarised reactions, Austin's performance was unanimously praised, and he too, scored an Oscar nomination, but ultimately lost to Brendan Fraser for The Whale. In 2019, Rami Malek, who was until then best known for his work in the television show Mr Robot, won the Best Actor award at the Oscars for playing Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody.
In an earlier chat with Sirius XM, Springsteen said that he found that Jeremy 'sings very well.' Gaby Hoffmann, who plays young Bruce's mother on the film, previously told Screen Rant that even though she hadn't seen Jeremy perform, she had heard that Springsteen was awed when he first heard the actor sing. 'I even heard that Bruce couldn't believe that what he was hearing wasn't his own voice when he heard Jeremy sing,' she said.
Springsteen Deliver Me From Nowhere is scheduled to release in theatres on October 24. Jeremy Allen White is currently waiting for the release of the fourth season of The Bear on June 25. In India, the show premieres on JioHotstar.
