A new trailer for the Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere has dropped.
The Scott Cooper-directed biopic chronicles the conception of Springsteen’s 1982 album Nebraska, when he was a young musician on the cusp of global superstardom. The album marked a pivotal moment in his career, and is considered one of his most enduring works.
In the new trailer, Springsteen, played by Jeremy Allen White, can be seen exploring his next career move, as he makes the bold career pivot to acoustic folk music on the album. The clip begins with Springsteen noting that “it’s a hard thing, realising people aren’t who you want them to be”.
The next scene shows him speaking with Jon Landau, played by Jeremy Strong, at a diner. Landau later says, “I think Bruce is afraid of what’s coming, and he feels guilty leaving behind the world he knows”.
The trailer also features a rapid-fire montage of Springsteen performing, interacting with friends and lovers, and going about his musical journey. Towards the end of the clip, Columbia Records executive Al Teller, played by David Krumholtz, tells Landau that pivoting to folk is a “highly unorthodox career move”, but Landau supports it.
In the final scene, Springsteen notes, “Don’t need to be perfect, I just want it to feel right”.

In a previous statement, Cooper said making Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere was deeply moving, as “it allowed me to step inside the soul of an artist I’ve long admired — and to witness, up close, the vulnerability and strength behind his music”.
The director added: “The experience felt like a journey through memory, myth, and truth. And more than anything, it was a privilege to translate that raw emotional honesty to the screen, and in doing so, it changed me. I cannot thank Bruce and Jon Landau enough for allowing me to tell their story.”
Alongside White, Strong, and Krumholtz, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere also stars Stephen Graham, Odessa Young, Gabby Hoffman, and Marc Maron. Cooper adapted the script from Warren Zane’s 2023 book of the same name.
The film will be out in Australian theatres on October 23rd, 2025.
