The first footage from 20th Century’s Deliver Me from Nowhere, the biopic based on the making of Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 album Nebraska was shared.

Jeremy Allen White stars as Springsteen, and Jeremy Strong plays his manager, Jon Landau. It is written and directed by Scott Cooper, based on Warren Zanes’ book. The film also stars Stephen Graham, Paul Walter Hauser, David Krumholtz, Gaby Hoffman, and Marc Maron. 

Here’s a description of the footage courtesy of IndieWire:

[It shows] White as Springsteen recording a song from his seminal album “Nebraska,” describing it as wanting it to feel like you’re in the room with him. Strong’s Landau describes in hushed tones what Springsteen is striving for with the album and why it’s not about topping the charts with this one.

“Bruce is a repairman, and what he’s doing with the sound is he’s repairing that hole in his floor, he’s repairing that hole in himself, and once he’s done that, he’s gonna repair the entire world,” Landau said.

Then it rocks out. We see White on stage singing “Born to Run” and getting fittingly sweaty as he careens through the song.
