Fans are furious over what Jeremy Allen White looks like while playing Bruce Springsteen
Springsteen was dressed smartly in a classic flannel coat, jeans, and shades before he returned to his luxury SUV.
Deliver Me From Nowhere was adapted from a book of the same name written by Warren Zane. Cooper, the film's writer and director, called the production an 'incredibly humbling and thrilling journey.'
'The album’s raw, unvarnished portrayal of life's trials and resilience resonates deeply with me,' Cooper said in a statement to Variety.
'Our film aims to capture that same spirit, bringing Warren Zanes' compelling narrative of Bruce's life to the screen with authenticity and hope, honoring Bruce's legacy in a transformative cinematic experience.'
Filming will primarily take place in locations throughout New York and New Jersey, but occasional scenes will be shot in Los Angeles.
Allen's co-stars include Jeremy Strong, Odessa Young, and Stephen Graham.
The Shameless actor was a 'top choice' to play Springsteen, and was confirmed as the film's lead in April.
White revealed to Deadline in September how 'excited' he was to star in the film.
'I can say I've got a really beautiful team of people helping me and Bruce has been really lovely and supportive and available, which has made this whole process an extra joy,' White said.
Springsteen discussed the upcoming biopic earlier this month, saying he felt good about the 'whole project.'
'I've seen the scripts and I've talked to the director,' Springsteen said.
'They're just putting it all together, so I don't have an awful lot to say about it, but I'm excited about it happening.'
