Bruce Springsteen Pic ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere’ Adds Paul Walter Hauser To Ensemble Cast


Paul Walter Hauser to play Bruce Springsteen guitar tech Mike Batlan in biopic 'Deliver Me From Nowhere'

While not confirmed, sources say he will play long time guitar tech Mike Batlan in the 20th Century biopic. 20th Century closed a deal this past April to finance and distribute the pic which follows the rock n roll genius who after grappling with personal demons and trying to wrap his arms around becoming a global superstar, Springsteen wrote and recorded Nebraska, the 1982 album that rivals Joni Mitchell’s Blue as one of the most emotionally raw, dark and honest albums in recent music history. Batlan was the long-time guitar tech for Springsteen, who in the rockstar’s early days had Baltan build a recording studio in the bedroom of his apartment.
