Springsteen 'Nebraska' Biopic Sets Oct. 24 Release as Director Highlights Mental-Health Struggles

Scott Cooper presents a vulnerable chapter with Springsteen's blessing.

Overview

  • The film premiered at the New York Film Festival on Sept. 28 as part of a festival-first rollout ahead of its theatrical opening.
  • Cooper says the movie will shed light on Bruce Springsteen’s struggle with mental illness and therapy, framing it as his most vulnerable period without making it a message movie.
  • Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere focuses on the creation of the 1982 Nebraska album, recorded on a 4‑track in Springsteen’s New Jersey bedroom.
  • Gaby Hoffmann says Springsteen visited the set, offered his blessing and gratitude, and remained largely hands off during production.
  • Jeremy Allen White stars as Springsteen and trained to perform the vocals himself, while industry tracking projects a modest $15–$25 million opening.
