It is being made in New York and New Jersey.The film has been adapted from Warren Zanes’ book about the making of the musician’s album and is being directed by Scott Cooper.Cooper’s previous films include Crazy Heart, which won Jeff Bridges a best actor Oscar for his performance as a washed-up country singer.“Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska has profoundly shaped my artistic vision,” Cooper said.“The album’s raw, unvarnished portrayal of life’s trials and resilience resonates deeply with me.
