The Bruce Springsteen Movie Trailer Positions Jeremy Allen White For A Best Actor Oscar Nom In ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere’

Jeremy Allen White is gunning for that Oscar nomination.

The Golden Globe-winning actor has already proven his acting chops with the hit FX series The Bear. But now, White is upping the ante by transforming into Bruce Springsteen for the dramatic new biopic, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere.

Directed by Scott Cooper, Deliver Me From Nowhere follows Springsteen through the making of his 1982 sophomore album “Nebraska,” as told through the 2023 book Deliver Me from Nowhere by Warren Zanes.

The emotional trailer, which can be watched at the top of this page, shows how White deftly handles Springsteen’s personal struggle with fame as he attempts to stay true to his roots while working on what fans now know to be one of the most important albums of his career. White even lends his own vocals to some of Springsteen’s classics for the film, including “Born to Run.”

Per the film’s official synopsis: “Recorded on a 4-track recorder in Springsteen’s New Jersey bedroom, the album marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most enduring works—a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching for a reason to believe.”

The Deliver Me From Nowhere trailer also gives fans a glimpse of Jeremy Strong playing Springsteen’s long-time manager, Jon Landau, who fights to maintain Springsteen’s creative freedom.

“This is not about either one of us. This is not about the charts. This is about Bruce Springsteen,” he tells David Krumholtz, who plays Columbia Records executive Al Teller. “These are the songs he wants to work on right now… He’s repairing that hole in himself with this album and once he’s done that, he’s gonna repair the entire world.”

The sneak peek is already generating Oscars buzz for the actor. Could this be the role that finally lands White his first Academy Award? For comparison, A Complete Unknown earned eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Actor for Timothee Chalamet, but did not win in a single category.

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere premieres only in theaters Oct .24.
