Jeremy Allen White in Talks to Play Bruce Springsteen in '80s-Set Biopic

Jeremy Allen White is in talks to play Bruce Springsteen in a 1980s set biopic focused on the making of the Springsteen album Nebraska.

Scott Cooper, whose films include Out of the Furnace, Hostiles and the recent Pale Blue Eye, is in talks to write and direct, and Springsteen is also involved, MovieMaker has learned. The 2019 musical drama Blinded By the Light directed by Gurinder Chadha featured archival footage of the musician, following the story of a teenage boy in 1987 who finds himself through Springsteen’s songs. Springsteen also made a cameo in the 2020 music drama Broken Poet, directed by Emilio Ruiz Barrachina, about a Rolling Stone journalist who goes to Paris to investigate rumors that a rock star who was believed to have died decades earlier might still be alive.
