Lastly, a biopic about The Boss. Not an entire lot has been revealed about Ship Me from Nowhere, based mostly on a sure a part of Bruce Springsteen’s embellished profession. To date, now we have a title, a common plot, a promotional picture of Jeremy Allen White taking part in the music legend, and the forged alongside him. That features the reliably stellar Paul Walter Hauser, and MovieWeb not too long ago caught up with the award-winning performer whereas he was selling his new movie out this week, The Luckiest Man in America. Hauser additionally took time to share his expertise with Springsteen, together with how concerned The Boss was as a producer and Hauser’s appreciation of the musician.
“I got here to Bruce late. I grew up with Billy Joel. That was type of my man. And it wasn’t till my mid- to-late 20s that I even found Bruce Springsteen. I did not know his music that a lot, and I adore it,” Hauser instructed us. “So it is an honor to be within the movie, an honor to fulfill Bruce. He was on set on a regular basis. I could not consider how usually we bought to hang around with him and ask him questions, and have him converse into the efficiency and the alternatives. It was nice.” Hauser continued:
“He was an actual producer on that film. He actually did the work and confirmed up and had no ego about it, or at the very least he did not present it to me. I cherished working with him. And for me, you realize, we deal with the Nebraska album all through that movie specifically, however my favourite album of his, by far, is [Born to Run]… That album, I can hearken to it entrance to again every single day in my life. To me, it is up there with the Rumours album from Fleetwood Mac.”
Reality vs. Fiction Roles
Till Ship Me from Nowhere is launched, Hauser steals the present but once more in his newest mission, a game-show movie based mostly on a real story a couple of shady contestant who tries to win all of it on Press Your Luck. Between Richard Jewell, Black Hen, his upcoming Chris Farley biopic, and now The Luckiest Man in America, Hauser has performed his justifiable share of real-life figures. Here is what he instructed us about the way it compares to fictional characters:
“I at all times name it dishonest once I do a real story. You may have only a wealth of of assist, you realize? Pictures, movies, real-life individuals you possibly can name on, who can converse to the individual or the time. I actually type of like taking part in actual individuals due to that. However I’ll say that taking part in, you realize, fictional individuals, once I do pull that off — it is very satisfying as a result of you realize that you just needed to do extra work than regular. You needed to actually fill in some gaps and areas, and adapt and marry a alternative, and know you can’t divert from that alternative mid-performance. That may be type of scary and dangerous.”
“Dishonest” or not, there’s a lot to understand about Hauser’s newest movie position. From IFC Movies, The Luckiest Man in America can be launched in theaters on Friday, April 4, 2025.
