Jeremy Allen White is Bruce Springsteen in a first-look picture launched by twentieth Century Fox.
The Bear star options as The Boss within the upcoming biopic Ship Me From Nowhere, directed by Scott Cooper (Loopy Hearts) and primarily based on the 2023 e-book Ship Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska by Warren Zanes. Lengthy-time music supervisor of Springsteen Jon Landau might be portrayed by Succession and The Apprentice actor Jeremy Robust.
The picture launched on Monday exhibits White in a leather-based jacket and flannel shirt.
Ship Me From Nowhere explores the making of Springsteen’s 1982 album Nebraska, which adopted the singer-songwriter’s enormous The River album. White not too long ago informed GQ: “I’m actually fortunate that there’s kind of a crew of parents now in place to assist younger actors painting rock stars… I’ve obtained a very gifted group of individuals serving to me practice vocally, musically, to prepare for this factor.”
The biopic follows the not too long ago launched Disney+ live performance movie Street Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Avenue Band.
Lately, Austin Butler has taken on Elvis Presley, Timothee Chalamet performs Bob Dylan within the upcoming A Full Unknown, Rami Malek performed Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, and Taron Egerton portrayed Elton John in Rocketman.
Cooper stated in April that Nebraska “had a profound influence on me and my work.” He stated: “By way of themes of despair, disillusionment, and the struggles of on a regular basis People, Bruce has shaped an unparalleled legacy, portray an unflinching portrait of the human situation… But, amidst the darkness, a way of resilience and a way of hope shines by means of, reflecting an indomitable spirit. That’s the Bruce I’ve come to know and love and can honor with this movie.”
