Bruce Springsteen Biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere Casts Steven Van Zandt Role

Deliver Me From Nowhere, the upcoming biopic about Bruce Springsteen, has cast the Steven Van Zandt role.

Deliver Me From Nowhere is based on Warren Zanes’ Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska novel. The movie will see The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White play Springsteen.

Per Deadline, Johnny Cannizzaro has been cast as Steven Van Zandt in the movie. Van Zandt was Springsteen’s longtime confidant and a member of his E Street Band. Van Zandt also notably played Silvio Dante in The Sopranos. A younger version of the character was played by John Magaro in the prequel 2021 movie The Many Saints of Newark.

Cannizzaro played Nick DeVito in Clint Eastwood’s Jersey Boys movie, which was released in 2014. He has also starred in episodes of General Hospital, The Young and the Restless, S.W.A.T., Criminal Minds, and Quantum Leap, among other roles.

What else do we know about the Bruce Springsteen movie Deliver Me From Nowhere?

Deliver Me From Nowhere also stars Odessa Young, Paul Walter Hauser, and Harrison Sloan Gilbertson.

The movie “is set during a time when Springsteen, after grappling with personal demons and trying to wrap his arms around becoming a global superstar, wrote and recorded Nebraska, the 1982 album that rivals Joni Mitchell’s Blue as one of the most emotionally raw, dark and honest albums in recent music history,” Deadline’s description reads.

Scott Cooper is directing Deliver Me From Nowhere. Cooper’s previous filmography includes 2009’s Crazy Heart, 2013’s Out of the Furnace, 2015’s Black Mass, 2017’s Hostiles, 2021’s Antlers, and 2022’s The Pale Blue Eye.

Scott Stuber is producing the film alongside Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Eric Robinson, and Copper Zanes. Springsteen is said to be “closely involved” as well.

An official release date for Deliver Me From Nowhere has not been announced at this time.
