Jeremy Allen White's Stunning Springsteen: Sings Like The Boss!
Bruce Springsteen Biopic Trailer Drops, and Jeremy Allen White's Spot-On Performance Leaves Fans Gushing
The highly anticipated biopic of rock legend Bruce Springsteen has finally dropped its trailer, and it's got everyone talking! The film, titled "Deliver Me From Nowhere," directed by Scott Cooper, is set to hit US theaters on October 24. And let's just say, Jeremy Allen White's performance as the Boss himself has left fans speechless.
In the trailer, White channels his inner Springsteen with uncanny precision, belting out the iconic song "Born to Run" in a raspy croon that's eerily reminiscent of the real deal. Fans were left arguing on 20th Century Studios' Instagram post about whether or not it was actually Bruce singing! But don't worry, Jeremy spilled the beans earlier last month: he sang all the songs himself for the film.
"I sang everything — everything's in the movie. It's done. No more prep, no more vocal lessons, I did it," White told the Associated Press in a recent interview. And we can see why - his performance is so spot-on that even fans are debating whether he's actually Springsteen or not!
White's portrayal of the 75-year-old heartland rock legend has been widely praised by fans and critics alike. "It's like Jeremy Allen White inhabited Bruce Springsteen in this performance," wrote Instagram user @nickjmalf. "I can't wait to see the film." Another fan, @irishoberymi, chimed in: "Outstanding choice for an actor to portray Bruce... I mean spot on! I cannot wait to check this out."
But what makes this biopic truly special is its unique approach to storytelling. The film focuses on Springsteen's DIY album "Nebraska," which he recorded at his home in Colts Neck, NJ with recording engineer Mike Batlan (played by Paul Walter Hauser) back in 1981-1982. "Don't need to be perfect," the real Bruce explained. "I want it to feel like I'm in the room by myself."
The film also delves into Springsteen's creative process and how he ultimately decided to release the original recordings instead of re-recording with his E Street Band. And let's just say, Jeremy Strong's portrayal of Jon Landau, Bruce's longtime manager, is spot-on as well.
But what really stole the show was this quote from Landau: "Bruce is a repairman. What he's doing with this album is, he's repairing that hole in his floor. Repairing that hole in himself. Once he's done that, he's going to repair the entire world."
And it looks like Jeremy White has truly embodied Springsteen's spirit - not just in his performance but also in his commitment to the film. "We finished it in January and Bruce was there a lot of time," White noted. "Jon Landau, his manager was there a lot of time. They seemed happy and that makes me happy."
But don't worry, folks, this biopic isn't just about Springsteen's creative process - it's also got an all-star cast, including Stephen Graham, Odessa Young, Gaby Hoffmann, Marc Maron, and David Krumholtz.
With its incredible cast, unique storyline, and spot-on performances, "Deliver Me From Nowhere" is shaping up to be one of the most highly anticipated biopics of the year. And let's not forget - it arrives just in time for awards season!
So mark your calendars for October 24 and get ready to experience the story of Bruce Springsteen like never before. But first, catch White reprising his breakout role as chef Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto in the critically-acclaimed drama "The Bear" on Hulu - it premieres June 25!
