In Coup For New Chief David Greenbaum, 20th Century Lands ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere’; Jeremy Allen White Plays Bruce Springsteen For Scott Cooper In Drama On Making Of ‘Nebraska’ Album

Deliver Me From Nowhere, with Jeremy Allen White playing Bruce Springsteen in making of Nebraska album, will be released by 20th Century Studios.

EXCLUSIVE: In a move that points to a change in direction he will take at the helm of Disney live action and 20 th Century Studios, former Searchlight co-head David Greenbaum has made his first big statement buy, and it’s set to the music of Bruce Springsteen ‘s seminal album Nebraska. 20 th Century has closed a deal to finance and release Deliver Me from Nowhere, the narrative film that Scott Cooper is writing to direct with Emmy-winning The Bear star Jeremy Allen White playing The Boss in a pivotal moment in his life. Even though that album’s title tune was about a despondent Vietnam vet who lost his brother in combat and felt forgotten and let down by the American government as he dealt with PTSD and unemployment, “Born in the USA” was such a booming anthem that Springsteen’s efforts to shine a light on the hardships facing soldiers who return from the horrors of the battlefield ill-equipped to re-assimilate into society got confused for a long time, especially for pols like Ronald Reagan who tried to co-opt it as a gung-ho pro-American statement.
