"Deliver Me From Nowhere" Trailer: See Jeremy Allen White Take on Springsteen's "Born to Run" and "Nebraska"

The first trailer for “Deliver Me From Nowhere” has officially arrived, offering a first glimpse at Jeremy Allen White stepping into the denim and demons of Bruce Springsteen.

Directed by Scott Cooper and adapted from Warren Zanes’ book of the same name, the film skips the usual greatest‑hits reel to examine how, why and what happened after Springsteen made "Nebraska." It promises a quiet character study of a rock icon who could fill arenas yet suddenly couldn’t fill his own head with answers.

White leads the cast as Springsteen, with Jeremy Strong as trusted manager‑producer Jon Landau. The ensemble features Paul Walter Hauser as guitar tech Mike Batlan, Stephen Graham as Springsteen’s stoic father Doug, Odessa Young as confidante Faye, and Marc Maron as producer Chuck Plotkin. Gaby Hoffmann, David Krumholtz and Johnny Cannizzaro round out the E Street orbit.

“Nebraska”: The Boss’s definitive album

Released Sept. 30, 1982, “Nebraska” arrived as Springsteen’s sixth studio album, and it swapped stadium spotlights for a single bedroom lamp. After "The River" hit No. 1 and its marathon tour left him numb, Springsteen holed up in Colts Neck, New Jersey, recording ten stark songs straight to cassette. No E Street Band, no gloss—just gothic folk tales about killers, drifters and working‑class purgatory in tracks like "Nebraska," "Atlantic City," "Johnny 99," and "State Trooper."

So why make a film about “Nebraska” and not his best-selling “Born in the U.S.A.,” or critics' favorite “Darkness on the Edge of Town”? Because “Nebraska” was the album Springsteen needed most before he could become a worldwide sensation. It was a creative purge that stripped away myth and made room for something bigger.

“Nebraska” didn’t sell like “Born to Run.” It didn’t win Grammys. But according to Springsteen, it’s the most definitive album of his life. "Deliver Me From Nowhere" releases in theaters Oct. 24, 2025.
