A new clip from the upcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic, Deliver Me From Nowhere, shows Jeremy Allen White singing his huge hit, ‘Born to Run’.
The upcoming movie is helmed by director Scott Cooper and is based on Warren Zanes’ 2023 book. The original novel tells the story of how Springsteen hibernated in isolation to produce his 1982 masterpiece, Nebraska.
Simultaneously, he was grappling emotionally with his position on the brink of superstardom. Cooper has promised there is “new information” never heard or seen before in the project.
The new clip, just over a minute long, shows White performing as Springsteen at the Riverfront Coliseum in Cincinnati, 1981. The shot pans in, capturing a huge audience, often landing on Springsteen through the waving hands of the riotous crowd.
White’s overall performance has been previously praised by Cooper, who stated that he had “an intensity of vulnerability and authenticity that I saw in Bruce’s work and in archival interviews with Bruce… Jeremy has two things that really, for me, make up Bruce Springsteen, and one is humility. And the other is swagger.”
The biopic genre has enjoyed rising popularity in the last few years, with Bob Dylan movie A Complete Unknown grossing over $138.8million at the global box office. Like the Springsteen biopic, Dylan’s movie focused on a short time period in Dylan’s life, providing a new means to approach the genre.
However, Springsteen has said before that he doesn’t consider the picture to fall into the biopic category. “You know, it’s really not a biopic,” he shared, “It just takes a couple years out of my life when I was 31 and 32 and looks at them really at a time when I made this particular record (Nebraska), and when I went through some just difficult places in my life, you know. And, I’m old and I don’t give a fuck what I do now.”
Deliver Me From Nowhere is set for cinematic release on October 24th, 2025.
