The Bear's Jeremy Allen White could play Bruce Springsteen in a new A24 biopic and that's so fun

Jeremy Allen White has become one of the biggest stars in television and could soon play one of the biggest stars in rock-and-roll history.

White, who received a Primetime Emmy Award and two Golden Globe Awards for his role on FX’s The Bear, is reportedly in talks to portray Bruce Springsteen in an upcoming film.

He is considered the “top choice” for the role, according to Deadline, and “talks are underway” for the entertainment company A24 to make the movie.

The movie is called Deliver Me from Nowhere and it is a “narrative feature” about Springsteen’s album Nebraska (1982). It is based on the recent book by Warren Zanes, which published in 2023.

According to Deadline, meanwhile, negotiations with White for this biopic have not yet begun. But it is worth noting that Springsteen and his longtime manager, Jon Landau, are both “actively involved” in the project.

Scott Cooper, the writer and director of Crazy Heart (2009) starring Jeff Bridges, will reportedly write and direct Deliver Me from Nowhere.

If it works out between all parties, White (who is from Brooklyn) would begin filming the movie in New Jersey after he wraps production on the forthcoming season of The Bear.
