'Succession' star Jeremy Strong in negotiations for Bruce Springsteen biopic
Jeremy Strong, known for his acclaimed performance in the hit series Succession, is currently in talks to join the cast of Deliver Me From Nowhere. The 20th Century Studios film delves into the life and career of music legend Bruce Springsteen, with a particular focus on his 1982 album, Nebraska. If successful, Strong will take on the role of Jon Landau, Springsteen's long-term manager.
Scott Cooper to direct Springsteen's 'Nebraska' film
Scott Cooper is set to direct and write the upcoming film, Deliver Me From Nowhere. The movie draws its inspiration from Warren Zane's 2023 book of the same name, which provides an in-depth look at Springsteen's creative process during the making of his unique solo album, Nebraska. Originally intended as a major rock record featuring the E Street Band, this album marked a significant point in Springsteen's career.
Springsteen and Landau are actively participating in film production
Springsteen and Landau are actively involved in the production of Deliver Me From Nowhere. The film is scheduled to begin shooting this fall. David Greenbaum, president of Disney Live Action and 20th Century Studios, had expressed his excitement about the project earlier, stating, "It is a once-in-a-lifetime honor to be collaborating with Bruce Springsteen, an inspiring and incomparable artist who represents so much to so many."
Strong's upcoming role includes 'The Apprentice'
Strong has been gaining significant recognition in the entertainment industry. He recently earned his first Tony nomination for his role in An Enemy of the People. In addition, he has received three Emmy nominations and won one in 2020 for his portrayal of Kendall Roy in Succession. His upcoming role will see him playing attorney Roy Cohn alongside Sebastian Stan as a young Donald Trump in The Apprentice, set to premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival.
