"Warren Zane's book of the same name ( sans the "Springsteen" part of the film's title) is about a famous musical artist basically retreating from the world to write and perform what many think is still his greatest album, "Nebraska." Oh, and Springsteen recorded "Nebraska" on a wonky piece of equipment and, trying to transfer this particular piece of music over to vinyl, so it could be mass produced for sale,"
"It's a big week for "Nebraska." As the film chronicles, Springsteen refused to do any press for the album, which led to record store patrons just, one day, stumbling upon a brand new Bruce Springsteen album that sounded like nothing he had done before. In contrast, Bruce Springsteen has been everywhere the last few weeks promoting not just this film, but the release of a new "Nebraska" box set that includes the Holy Grail for Springsteen fans, "Electric Nebraska.""
Director Scott Cooper indicates the film will defy conventional expectations for a Bruce Springsteen movie. Warren Zane's book describes a famous musician retreating to write and perform what many consider his greatest album, Nebraska. Springsteen recorded Nebraska on a fragile, unreliable machine, and transferring those recordings to vinyl for mass production became a significant technical challenge. The film focuses on Springsteen deconstructing his identity, including a first-person title track about a mass murderer, with Jeremy Allen White portraying Springsteen. Springsteen initially refused press for the album, and recently promoted both the film and an expanded Nebraska box set, including Electric Nebraska.
