The project is currently called “Deliver Me From Nowhere” and is based on Warren Zanes’ book of the same name, which came out last year. The story centers on Springsteen developing his record “Nebraska,” which came out in 1982. White is the top choice to play Springsteen, with the project planned to be shot in New Jersey after he has wrapped his scenes for the fourth season of “The Bear.”

The book “Deliver Me From Nowhere” discusses Springsteen’s life, the way he dealt with his father’s depression, and his own experiences with the illness. Springsteen’s fans know the record “Nebraska” as one of his darkest and most personal, being released at a time where Springsteen had achieved some fame. He recorded the 10 track album in a cassette on his bedroom in New Jersey.
