The film will be directed by Scott Cooper, known for his work on acclaimed films such as ‘Crazy Heart’, ‘Black Mass,’ and ‘Antlers’. Springsteen himself, along with his manager Jon Landau, is said to be actively involved in the project, although specific details about their roles remain undisclosed at this time.

‘Deliver Me From Nowhere’ will delve into the making of Springsteen’s seminal album ‘Nebraska,’ which took shape amidst the recording sessions for his blockbuster album ‘Born In The USA.’

Drawing inspiration from Warren Zanes’ book of the same name, the film will explore the creative process behind ‘Nebraska’ and Springsteen’s decision to release the album’s raw, stripped-back demos rather than re-record them with the E Street Band.

Released as Springsteen’s sixth studio album, ‘Nebraska’ marked a departure from his usual sound, featuring hauntingly sparse recordings that reflected the artist’s introspective and introspective state of mind. The album has since become a revered classic in Springsteen’s discography, praised for its raw authenticity and emotional depth.
