Exactly one month after The Bear star Jeremy Allen White was confirmed to play Bruce Springsteen in an upcoming biopic, he caught up with his on-screen manager.
Succession star Jeremy Strong has signed on to play Jon Landau in the film titled Deliver Me From Nowhere, according to Variety.
Both Springsteen, 74, and Landau, 76, who is not related to Avatar producer Jon Landau, are said to be actively involved in the project.
The film will be an adaptation of Warren Zanes’ 2023 book of the same name, which chronicles the making of Springsteen’s 1982 album Nebraska.
The album was expected to be another album with his E Street Band, with Springsteen writing all 10 songs and recording them himself on a 4-track recorder.

Both Springsteen, 74, and Landau, 76, (both seen above in 2019), who are not related to Avatar producer Jon Landau, are said to be actively involved in the project.
The songs used acoustic and electric guitar, along with other instruments such as organ, harmonica, glockenspiel, tambourine, and synthesizer.
Springsteen and Landau originally intended to use those recordings as demos, taking them into the studio to work with the E Street Band.
These April 1982 sessions would become known as the ‘Nebraska Electric Sessions’, although they would not be used for songwriting in Nebraska.
Both Springsteen and Landau decided that 10 of the songs could not be replicated with the band and were more powerful on the unreleased demo version, which eventually became the 1982 album Nebraska.
While not as commercially successful as his previous hits Born to Run and his double album The River, Nebraska is still considered one of Springsteen’s most important albums in his iconic library.
The album was ranked number 150 on Rolling Stone’s 2020 edition of their list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
The Electric Nebraska Sessions would prove to be quite important, as eight of those songs would be included on Springsteen’s hit 1984 album, Born in the USA, including the title track, Glory Days, and Working On the Highway.
As for Landau, he began his career as a music critic, who claimed in a 1974 article that Springsteen was “the future of rock and roll.”
