Like the cherry on the cake Springsteen: Deliver Me Out of Nowhere directed Scott Cooperwhich in its filmography has such interesting titles as crazy heartwhich also had a theme song and won an Oscar for Jeff Bridges.
Throughout his career, Scott Cooper He has proven that he is a director of actors. The work he did with Jeff Bridges is the greatest exponent, but he also brought out the best in Christian Bale, Johnny Depp, Rosamund Pike and many others. Now with Springsteen: Deliver Me Out of Nowhere wants to take Jeremy Allen White to the highest. To do this, it turns him into an ideal Bruce Springsteenvoice is on.

Scott Cooper Reinvents Musical Biopic
Why Jeremy Allen White was the perfect Bruce Springsteen for the role Deliver me out of nowhere?
For many reasons. Let’s start with the fact that if you look at the structure of the face Jeremiahvery similar to Bruce in the 80s and 81s. We were not looking for imitation, but for the essence. It also has its vulnerability, its intensity. And such courage as Bruce show yourself at your lowest point. What is key in this particular chapter of life? Bruce. He can also sing, play the guitar and harmonica. You know, he’s one of those guys who is handsome and can do anything.
In a time when there are so many music biopics, what does Springsteen: Deliver Me Out of Nowhere to be special?
I don’t know if it’s special, that’s up to the public to decide. I think what makes it different is that it is a very specific and very short moment in life Bruce. Shows Bruce at the most vulnerable, most fragile moment. I think it might even show the most ardent fans an episode that they don’t fully know about. Bruce He told me that there were things in this film that he never talked about. So I think it’s interesting for the fans.
Except, Bruce He is different from many musicians. Some musicians are icons, myths, and there is some distance between you and that particular singer. WITH Brucemakes you feel part of it. And if you saw it at a concert, it’s like a spiritual rebirth. So for me, making a film about a man who meant so much to me and showing it in a very human way made it something really special.
How do you think the film industry will evolve with these biopics? Will the public continue to watch them or will they get tired of the intensity?
Listen, it’s clear that audiences love musical films. Some more than others. The situation is a little different now than when they were released. Bohemian Rhapsody And Rocketmanwhat happened before the pandemic, when people went to the movies more. Unfortunately, I think people are staying home and doing this now. [mirar el móvil] while watching a movie. It’s a shame. But I think if you make films about artists that people like, they will eventually come. I just hope they come sooner rather than later.
Deliver me out of nowhere and the soul of Bruce Springsteen
IN Springsteen: Deliver Me Out of Nowhere You have a different approach to these films because you focus on reflecting their trauma, their depression. It’s not so much his rise to fame, but the man behind it. Why were you interested in this point of view?
Because I didn’t think we saw it that way. I thought it was important to show Bruce struggling, needing help and finally getting it. I think it’s important to show what he was dealing with, what he was struggling with in recording his personal best. How unresolved trauma can foster creativity and art while recognizing that Bruce could simultaneously release an album that would completely change his life, which would come out later, called Born in USA. But instead, he left it in the drawer and decided to take it out. Nebraska. An album that many people don’t know.
How do you choose which songs will be in the film and which should be left out?
There’s no time to play all the songs. So I’ve added those that have personal meaning to me and that I think also have meaning to Brucebe it NebraskaCertainly, Mansion on the Hill, My father’s house…All those things that correspond to the themes addressed in the film.
We also listened to a few songs from Bruce which will appear later in Born in USA. it would be yours Born in USAwhich we heard in both acoustic and electric versions with the E Street Band. We are listening I’m on fire. We are listening Born to Run. And it gives you a complete picture of who he is. Bruce.
How did you work with Jeremy Allen White to voice Springsteen?
We had a wonderful vocal teacher, Eric Vetrowho I think he worked with Austin Butler become Elvis. Jeremiah He has very good hearing. And I think he listened a lot Bruceobviously. Eric was able to open Jeremiah in a way that didn’t sound all that similar Brucebut something similar, but without ceasing to be Jeremiah. And that was my goal. I insist, this was not about imitation or imitation, but about getting a real human portrait, including hearing the voice Jeremiah.
Tilly Norwood controversy
Last question, this time about what is happening in the industry. An AI-created “actress” named Tilly Norwood has recently become famous. As a director, what do you think about this?
I want to state for the record that I will never hire Tilly Norwood nor anyone like Tilly Norwood. Tilly Norwood will never be able to behave like Meryl Streep, Jeff Bridges, Christian Bale, Jeremy Allen White or many others. I suspect that as our lives become more digital, more controlled, more filtered, and more sophisticated, the American public, and I hope the public around the world, will reject Tilly Norwood and all the “people” like her to follow her. We will love people who are not perfect. People we can feel connected to and identify with. Because we can never identify with Tilly Norwood. And I hope this is the last we hear from her.
