Premise
The film chronicles the making of Bruce Springsteen's 1982 Nebraska album when he was a young musician on the cusp of global superstardom, struggling to reconcile the pressures of success with the ghosts of his past. Recorded on a 4-track recorder in Springsteen's New Jersey bedroom, the album marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most enduring works—a stark, somber acoustic record portraying the lives of blue-collar workers who try to succeed in life but fail at every turn, while searching for a deliverance that never comes.
The project was first announced in March 2024, with Bruce Springsteen and his manager Jon Landau said to be actively involved with it. Producers are Scott Stuber, his first project since leaving as Chief of Film at Netflix, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Scott Cooper, and Eric Robinson (who first identified the story and, together with Goldsmith-Vein, brought the project to Cooper), with Cooper writing and directing the adaptation of Zanes' non-fiction book Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska. Zanes is also an Executive Producer. Jeremy Allen White was reported to be in talks to portray Springsteen and A24 was expected to acquire the distribution rights.[2][3]
Principal photography began on October 28, 2024.[13][14] Filming took place primarily in New York and New Jersey, with additional photography in Los Angeles.[15][16] On November 1 and 4, 2024, Springsteen made special visits to the sets in Rockaway and Bayonne, New Jersey, where he met with White.[17] Springsteen also visited the sets in Asbury Park on December 10 and 11, 2024, in the Meadowlands on January 8 and 9, and in Freehold Borough on January 10, 2025. Filming wrapped on January 11, 2025, in Asbury Park.
