Jeremy Allen White Was Born to Run as Bruce Springsteen in ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere' Trailer
In the first official trailer for Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, Jon Landau (Jeremy Strong) wants to make a few things clear. 'Here's what I want you to understand,' the longtime music manager tells Columbia Records executive Al Teller (David Krumholtz), 'this is not about either one of us. This is not about the charts. This is about Bruce Springsteen. And these are the songs that he wants to work on right now.' Moments earlier, Jeremy Allen White's Springsteen settled behind a mic in his New Jersey bedroom — just him, some antiquated furniture, and Mike Batlan (Paul Walter Hauser), his recording engineer for the Nebraska sessions. 'Don't need to be perfect,' he tells him. 'I want it to feel like I'm in the room by myself.' In theaters Oct. 24, Deliver Me From Nowhere catches the musician during the making of Nebraska, his stripped back acoustic folk record that arrived in 1982.

Hear Surprising 'Lost' Track 'Sunday Love' See Bruce Springsteen Bring Out Paul McCartney at Liverpool Concert The biopic trailer offers glimpses into Springsteen's rugged childhood under the watch of his father (played by Stephen Graham), his whirlwind romance with a woman named Faye (Odessa Young), and his nights performing to sold-out crowds. The clip closes out with White doing his best take on the Springsteen classic 'Born to Run' with lights flashing all around him and sweat pouring down his face. 'I'm trying to find something real in all the noise,' he says. 'Making Springsteen was deeply moving as it allowed me to step inside the soul of an artist I've long admired — and to witness, up close, the vulnerability and strength behind his music,' director Scott Cooper said in a statement. 'The experience felt like a journey through memory, myth, and truth. And more than anything, it was a privilege to translate that raw emotional honesty to the screen, and in doing so, it changed me. I cannot thank Bruce and Jon Landau enough for allowing me to tell their story.' Cooper wrote the script for the film based on Warren Zane's 2023 book, Deliver Me from Nowhere. The film also stars Gaby Hoffman and Marc Maron. Deliver Me From Nowhere began production this past October. In November, Springsteen stopped by a shoot day in Bayonne, New Jersey, when the crew was capturing the moment he picked out his first car, a Chevrolet Z28 Camaro. The scene appears early in the trailer, with a salesman telling him, 'It's awful fitting for a handsome devil rockstar — I do know who you are.' White's Springsteen responds, 'Well, that makes one of us.' Best of Rolling Stone Sly and the Family Stone: 20 Essential Songs The 50 Greatest Eminem Songs All 274 of Taylor Swift's Songs, Ranked

Bruce Springsteen Says Without Brian Wilson There'd Be No ‘Racing in the Street'
Bruce Springsteen posted a heartfelt tribute to the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson, who died at the age of 82. 'Brian Wilson was the most musically inventive voice in all of pop, with an otherworldly ear for harmony,' Springsteen wrote on Instagram. 'He was also the visionary leader of America's greatest band, the Beach Boys. If there'd been no Beach Boys, there would have been no 'Racing In The Street.' Listen to 'Summer's Gone' from the Beach Boys' last album That's Why God Made the Radio and weep. Farewell, Maestro. Nothing but love and a lovely lasting debt from all of us over here on E Street.'

When Bob Dylan heard about Wilson's death, he 'thought about all the years I've been listening to him and admiring his genius.' Wilson's family, including his daughter Carnie and cousin/bandmate Mike Love, also wrote tender tributes on social media. There were also tributes from founding Beach Boy Al Jardine, and actor John Stamos, who gigged with the group, off and on, for the past four decades. Others have honored Wilson with renditions of his classics, like Sting's cover of 'God Only Knows.'
