“The Bear” star Jeremy Allen White could soon swap the wooden spoon for the guitar in the biopic about rock legend Bruce Springsteen.
Will “The Bear” star Jeremy Allen White (33) soon take over the plectrum instead of the wooden spoon? Like that Industry magazine “Entertainment Weekly” reports that the American actor, who is currently filming the third and fourth seasons of “The Bear”, is the hot favorite for the role of “The Boss” in the planned biopic about the rock singer and musician Bruce Springsteen (74) and his 1982 solo album “Nebraska”.
The film about the creation of the musician’s sixth studio album is tentatively titled “Deliver Me From Nowhere”, based on the 2023 book of the same name “Deliver Me From Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska” by Warren Zane (59).
Springsteen himself is said to be working on the script
In addition to the former Netflix film boss Scott Stuber (55), Ellen Goldsmith-Vein (61) and Eric Robinson from the Gotham Group are also said to be involved in the production of the film adaptation. The film production company A24 is also said to be under discussion as a potential production partner. As “Entertainment” further reports, “Crazy Heart” producer Scott Cooper (53) is said to be in talks to write the script and direct. The film director would receive support from “The Boss” himself and his manager Jon Landau (63), who are also said to be involved in the production.
“Nebraska” is considered one of Springsteen’s best works. The acoustic album, which the rock legend recorded without the accompaniment of his E Street Band, was recorded on January 3, 1982 in the musician’s bedroom on a simple four-track tape recorder. The rock legend and the E Street Band are currently resuming their world tour after Springsteen had to cancel planned concerts last fall due to his health.
Jeremy Allen White is best known for his role in the American dramedy series The Bear: King of the Kitchen. There he embodies the young gourmet chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, who wants to bring his parents’ sandwich shop into shape. White received a Golden Globe Award for Best Lead Actor in a 2024 series for his role.
