Bruce Springsteen reveals he would not visit the set of his biopic for THIS reason; calls Jeremy Allen White a 'tolerant actor'
Bruce Springsteen , the legendary singer, revealed the behind-the-scenes of the shoot, where he avoided visiting the sets for his upcoming biopic 'Springsteen: Deliver Me From No' during the scenes that truly felt personal and emotional. Jeremy Allen White is a 'tolerant' actor... In an interview with Rolling Stone, as quoted by Variety, the 75-year-old was asked about his feelings of seeing someone else play his younger version on the screen. 'I'm sure it's much worse for the actor than for me,' he gracefully said, before adding, 'Jeremy Allen White was very, very tolerant of me the days that I would appear on the set.' The 'Born in the U.S.A' singer recalled that he asked 'The Bear' actor to give him the look, and he will be on his way home. 'The days that I got out there, he was wonderfully tolerant with me being there. And it was just fun. It was enjoyable,' he continued. The most painful days... Furthermore, the singer revealed that there was some 'unusualness' with the process as the biopic involves some of the most painful days of his life. There were some scenes in the film where Bruce decided to stay at his residence and not watch the shooting at all. 'If there was a scene coming up that was sometimes really deeply personal, I wanted the actors to feel completely free, and I didn't want to get in the way, and so I would just stay at home,' the 'Hungry Heart' singer stated. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Moreover, Bruce claimed that whenever the director, Scott Cooper , wanted something or asked him to be on the sets, he would try to make it.

WATCH: First look at Jeremy Allen White in Bruce Springsteen biopic
The first trailer for the upcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic, Deliver Me From Nowhere, has been released, starring Jeremy Allen White as the rock icon. Directed by Scott Cooper, the film centres on Springsteen's 1981–1982 road to his iconic sixth studio album, Nebraska. The record was released in 1982, following Springsteen's hit song 'Hungry Heart' in 1980. Concurrently with Nebraska, the singer worked on his next album, Born in the U.S.A., which came out in 1984. Springsteen is played by Jeremy Allen White, who has won three Golden Globes for his lead performance in The Bear. In a 2024 interview with GQ, White said he felt 'really lucky' for all the help he got during his preparation for the role. 'I've got a really talented group of people helping me train vocally and musically to get ready for this thing. I'm also really lucky that Bruce is really supportive of the film, and so I've had some access to him, and he's just the greatest guy,' said White. Jere my Strong, known from his role in Succession, stars as Springsteen's manager and producer Jon Landau, alongside Adolescence actor Stephen Graham, who will portray his father, Douglas. Bruce Springsteen regularly visited the set during filming and has applauded the teams' efforts to bring his story to life. In April, the musician told Variety that when he first heard the movie pitch, he immediately thought, 'It sounds like fun.' 'It's an interesting concept, because it's only a couple of years out of my life,' Springsteen continued. Although the rock star acknowledged that he was 'going through some personal difficulties' in 1981 and 1982, he called the film 'fantastic'.

Deliver Me from Nowhere trailer: Jeremy Allen White sings Springsteen's biggest hits, divides fans
Jeremy Allen White might not be the first person you'd picture playing The Boss but the new trailer for the upcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic, might just change your mind. Best known for his Emmy-winning role in The Bear, White transforms into the rock legend as the movie revisits the period following Springsteen's 1980 pop breakthrough Hungry Heart. In the trailer, he's seen strumming the guitar, playing harmonica, and singing both Nebraska's title track and the anthemic Born To Run. To nail the role, White didn't cut corners. 'There's just so much footage,' he told GQ last year. 'It's really great to go down a YouTube rabbit hole and find him at all these different periods in his life and be able to listen to his speaking voice as well as his singing voice. It's been really fun preparing.' Springsteen himself was a regular on set and has given his stamp of approval. 'He's got an interpretation of me that I think the fans will deeply recognise and he's just done a great job, so I've had a lot of fun,' said the star. He even praised White as 'a terrific actor' who sings 'very well.' The film, directed by Scott Cooper and based on Warren Zanes' book, digs into the deeply personal phase of Springsteen's life during the early '80s — a time of creative tension, introspection, and emotional reckoning. Much of Nebraska was recorded alone by Springsteen in his Colts Neck, New Jersey home, capturing a rawness rarely seen in mainstream music at the time. White, now 33, is close in age to Springsteen when he made the album. Initial reactions are mixed. 'Nebraska is one of my all time favorite albums. Absolutely cannot wait for this!' wrote one Reddit user. Another chimed in, 'Came here to say the same thing. Got chills hearing the opening of Nebraska in this clip. Can't believe they went with that. Everyone knows Bruce from Born to Run and Born in the USA, but I think Nebraska and The Ghost of Tom Joad are his finest work.' Still, not everyone is convinced. 'Jeremy Allen White just doesn't look like Bruce at least 50% of the time,' one fan noted. 'But then some shots (like the ones at 0:27 and 0:28) look really close.' Another wrote, 'He seems to really nail the physicality while playing guitar, eerily so… but yeah, cautiously… well I don't know if I'm optimistic. This is a very Dewey Cox trailer.' There's also buzz about the source material. One fan of the book remarked, 'The author, Warren Zanes, focuses on the period between the end of The River Tour and the release of Born in the USA. This was a critical, existential period for Springsteen. If the movie indeed focuses on the making of Nebraska, it will not be your run of the mill birth-to-death musical biopic.' Others, however, weren't feeling the trailer's vibe. 'Any interest I might have had completely diminished as I saw Scott Cooper's name,' said one. 'Man has had an uncanny ability, in my experience, to completely fumble every single one of his films.' Another added, 'I think it's silly to release biopics about people who are still alive.' And then there's the skepticism many seem to share: 'This looks corny af. Feels almost like a parody trailer. Also not vibing with Jeremy as Springsteen here. Maybe it's just the trailer and the movie will be good.' This biopic is already striking a chord, and it hasn't even hit theaters yet.

Nanni Moretti Teaming With Louis Garrel, Jasmine Trinca on New Film
Palme d'Or-winning Italian director Nanni Moretti (The Son's Room, We Have a Pope) is teaming up with French star Louis Garrel (Little Women, The Dreamers) and Italian actress Jasmine Trinca (The Gunman) for his new film, the romantic drama Succederà questa notte (It Will Happen Tonight). The feature, loosely based on the short story collection Hungry Heart (Lev Raev) by Israeli writer Eshkol Nevo, is set to begin shooting in Spain and Italy this fall. Moretti adapted Nevo's novel Three Floors Up as the 2021 film Three Floors. More from The Hollywood Reporter Kim Woodburn, British Reality TV Star Best Known for 'How Clean Is Your House,' Dies at 83 Melanie Rumani, BBC Studios and UKTV Global Head of Acquisitions, Dies at 50 'Kingdom Come: Deliverance II Cinematic Cut' Debut Marks KVIFF Expansion Into Gaming World Trinca made her feature debut in Moretti's The Son's Room in 2001, but this will be their first collaboration since The Caiman in 2006. The Italian actress has been splitting her time between features, including Léa Todorov's Maria Montessori and Ildikó Enyedi's The Story of My Wife (2021), and TV work, appearing in acclaimed Italian series La Storia and The Art of Joy (both 2024). Succederà questa notte will be Moretti's first collaboration with Garrel. The French actor is coming off recent French blockbusters The Three Musketeers, parts 1 and 2, and Quentin Dupieux's 2024 Cannes festival opener The Second Act. The Italian auteur has been looking for a project to work on with Garrel for several years now. In 2023, the pair staged a series of viral Instagram skits to promote the Garrel-directed crime comedy The Innocent, which screened at Moretti's Nuovo Sacher cinema in Rome. The film's cast includes Angela Finocchiaro, Elena Lietti, Antonio De Matteo, Andrea Lattanzi, Hippolyte Girardot, Pietro Ragusa, and Paolo Sassanelli. Moretti, who often appears in his own films, will have a cameo. Moretti adapted Nevo's short story collection together with co-screenwriters Federica Pontremoli and Valia Santella, intertwining the book's separate stories about the various bonds — familial, political, social and romantic — that both restrict and liberate, into a single narrative. Sacher Film and Fandango are producing in collaboration with Rai Cinema. Italian daily Il Messaggero first broke the news of Moretti's new film.

Review, When Bruce Springsteen Came to Britain, BBC2
**** Tony wasn't happy. 'Where the **** have you been? You're late.' 'Highway was jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive,' said Christopher. 'Aw you're gonna get ****ing cute now?' It's a measure of Springsteen's fame that he needs no introduction, whether he's being quoted in The Sopranos, earning Trump's ire on social media ('This dried-out prune of a rocker ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT'), or having a night devoted to him on BBC2, of which this documentary was the highlight. Springsteen's first visit to Britain, or 'the land of our gods and saviours' as the Beatles/Stones/Animals worshipper put it, was in 1975 to play the Hammersmith Odeon. The audience loved him but Springsteen thought he had been terrible. 'I had PTSD from it,' he joked. He couldn't bear to watch the film (shown as part of the night) for 30 years. After that it was all gravy for Springsteen, and the documentary in general, as we heard from the man himself, plus friend and bandmate Steven Van Zandt, fans (celebrity and otherwise) and journalists. Among the celebrities, Rob Brydon's devotion was writ large in a teenage scrapbook. Growing up near Port Talbot, Springsteen said more to him than The Jam singing about the Tube. Sting described his mate Bruce as 'a whirling dervish of benevolent male energy'. Tony Parsons said Britain needed Bruce as an antidote to the New Romantics. The 'ordinary' fans shone brightest, including Hazel Wilkinson, who danced with Bruce onstage at the Manchester Apollo; the striking miners' wives handed a cheque for £20,000 in Newcastle; and the nine-year-old lad who sang Hungry Heart with the Boss in Coventry. And what of the gigs in Scotland? We saw a ticket stub from the Edinburgh stop on the 1980-81 River tour, and Ravenscraig appeared in a miners' strike montage, but that seemed to be it. What, no Hampden, no Murrayfield? No excerpts from the glowing reviews in The Herald and other papers, or interviews with those who were there? Even the briefest of searches would have struck research gold. It was the same for Wales and Northern Ireland. Springsteen and young fan at Hampden. Colin Mearns (Image: Colin Mearns/The Herald) Now, it is possible footage or stills from the Scottish gigs were featured, but were not captioned as such in the preview version I saw. Perhaps stuff hit the cutting room floor. Every concert can't be shown and maybe it was enough for some viewers to run a caption saying 'over 60' shows have been played in Britain since Bruce and The E Street Band got back together. Plus fans, Scottish or otherwise, go where they can get tickets. My two cents: if you make a film titled When Bruce Springsteen Came to Britain - part of a series that includes Bob Marley, Blondie and ABBA - it seems only right to cover all parts of Britain. It was an odd omission in an otherwise terrific hour that left no doubt about Springsteen's love for his UK fans and vice versa. He didn't need a fellowship of the Ivors Academy to prove he's always welcome here, but great that he got it, and from a Beatle as well. Now about that honorary knighthood …
