Bruce Springsteen developing Nebraska feature film: Report

Bruce Springsteen, as usual, is on fire. The beloved Americana rocker never seems to stop working — gearing up for another leg of his North American tour this spring. Now, the Boss is rumored to have a new venture on the horizon: a feature film.

Roger Friedman, the entertainment blogger behind Showbiz 411, first reported on the news — sharing that sources have said a film is in the works about the making of Springsteen’s seminal 1982 album Nebraska. Crazy Heart writer-director Scott Cooper is said to be attached to the project — with Springsteen consulting on it. World of Reel reports that the screenplay may be adapted from Warren Zanes’ Deliver Me From Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska.

The stripped back album is an iconic release in Springsteen’s discography, resulting from a series of solo demos that were meant to be recorded with the E Street Band. Among the many songs that did not make the cut for the album was the famed “Born in the U.S.A.”

Springsteen will be heading back out on the road this March, with dates running through November.
