Jeremy Allen White Close to Playing Bruce Springsteen in ‘Nebraska’-Era Biopic

Jeremy Allen White is in talks to star in a new Bruce Springsteen biopic centered around the recording of the 1982 classic, 'Nebraska.'

A Bruce Springsteen movie centered around the making of his classic 1982 album, Nebraska, is officially in the works, with The Bear ’s Jeremy Allen White reportedly “in talks” to star. The project will find the filmmaker returning to a story about a musician for the first time since his celebrated 2009 debut, Crazy Heart, in which Jeff Bridges played a floundering former country star looking to turn his life back around. In a 2023 interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Springsteen said, in the wake of The River, he “hit some sort of personal wall that I didn’t even know was there.” He continued: “It was my first real major depression where I realized, ‘Oh, I gotta do something about it.’”
