The film will follow the making of the rock legend's 1982 album, 'Nebraska.'
From The Bear to The Boss! ET can confirm that Jeremy Allen White is in talks to play the legendary singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen in the upcoming biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere.
The film is being helmed by Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper and being produced by former Netflix chairman, Scott Stuber. The arthouse, Oscar-producing film company A24 is in talks for the movie. Springsteen and his manager, Jon Landau, are also "actively involved" in the project, according to Deadline.
Deadline was the first to report this news.
The movie is set to follow Springsteen as he crafts his 1982 album, Nebraska, with the E Street Band. The film will be an adaptation of Warren Zanes' 2023 book, Deliver Me From Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska.
The album was Springsteen's sixth studio album and was released in 1982 to critical acclaim.
While Springsteen has participated in his share of concert films, this is the first biopic about his life. He previously won an Oscar in 1994 for penning the song "Streets of Philadelphia" for the film Philadelphia, starring Tom Hanks. He was also nominated in 1996 for his song, "Dead Man Walking," in the film of the same name.
As for White, he's had a breakout few years thanks to his role as Carmen "Carey" Berzatto on The Bear. The actor, who got his start playing Lip Gallagher on the Showtime series Shameless, recently won an Emmy for his work as the Chicago-based chef.
