Overview

• Bruce Springsteen took the stage at Alice Tully Hall after the New York Film Festival screening and performed an acoustic “Land of Hope and Dreams.”
• Before playing, he reflected on “particularly dangerous times” and praised the America he still sees as a land of hope rather than fear, divisiveness, censorship or hatred.
• Springsteen thanked Jeremy Allen White for “playing a much better-looking version” of him, saluted Jeremy Strong’s portrayal of Jon Landau, and honored his late parents depicted in the film.
• The feature, adapted from Warren Zanes’s 2023 book and directed by Scott Cooper, focuses on the creation of 1982’s Nebraska during a fraught early‑’80s period.
• Following a Telluride world premiere and strong early notices for White’s transformation, 20th Century Studios will release the film in theaters on Oct. 24.
