A new movie about the making of Bruce Springsteen<\/strong>‘s landmark 1982 roots album Nebraska<\/em>, which was born from writing sessions for what would become the E Street Band’s chart-shattering Born in the U.S.A.<\/em> album, has set its sights on The Bear<\/em> star Jeremy Allen White to play the singer-songwriter.<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/em> reported<\/a> that the actor is the \u201ctop choice\u201d to play The Boss, although the article also notes that \u201cnegotiations haven’t begun with the actor.\u201d So this may very well be news to White too. His rep did not immediately respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

The film, based on Warren Zanes<\/strong>‘ 2023 book Deliver Me From Nowhere<\/em>, which chronicled the writing and recording sessions from this era of Springsteen’s career, is being adapted by writer and director Scott Cooper<\/strong>, best known for Crazy Heart<\/em>, the 2009 musical drama that won Jeff Bridges<\/strong> the best actor Oscar, and last year’s Edgar Allan Poe historical mystery The Pale Blue Eye<\/em>. His representative had no additional comment.<\/p>\n

The Springsteen film is being produced by Scott Stuber<\/strong>, until recently the top film executive and Netflix, whom Deadline<\/em> says is partnering with Ellen Goldsmith Vein<\/strong> and Eric Robinson<\/strong> of the management firm The Gotham Group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
