Disney has set 20th Century Studios’ Deliver Me From Nowhere for an October 24 US release, positioning the Bruce Springsteen bio drama as an awards contender and possible autumn festival entry.
Jeremy Allen White stars as Springsteen, portrayed during the making of the rocker’s 1982 album Nebraska. Also starring for writer-director Scott Cooper are Jeremy Strong, Stephen Graham, Odessa Young and Paul Walter Hauser.
At the US box office, the release date puts Deliver Me From Nowhere up against Paramount drama Regretting You, Warner’s video game-based sequel Moral Kombat II and the limited launch of Yorgos Lanthimos’ Bugonia, from Focus Features. It also places the Springsteen film three weeks after Lionsgate’s Michael Jackson music biopic Michael.
Deliver Me From Nowhere looks set to appeal to the same audience demographic as last year’s Bob Dylan bio drama A Complete Unknown, from Disney’s Searchlight Pictures, which was released on December 25 and went on to get eight Oscar nominations, though no wins.
The Springsteen project was introduced to exhibitors at last month’s CinemaCon convention, where Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong took to the stage to show footage of White singing as Springsteen.
White won last year’s Emmy for lead actor in a comedy series for his work in FX’s The Bear and is expected to figure again when this year’s Emmy nominations are announced in July.
