Though the actor stayed mum on any additional information, he shared that he had a “really beautiful team of people helping me” in addition to Springsteen’s guidance.
“Bruce has been really lovely and supportive and available, which has made this whole process I think such an extra joy that we have his support and Jon Landau – his manager’s — support, who has a large role in the film, as well,” he added. “So I feel really lucky, and yeah, we’re getting there.”

Nebraska marked Springsteen’s sixth studio album after he broke out in the music industry in the 1970s. The musician famously recorded the 10-song album on his own while he and the E Street Band were in the process of making other music, including their well-known 1984 album Born in the U.S.A.
“Nebraska expressed a turmoil that was reflective of the mood of the country, but it was also a symptom of trouble in the artist’s life, the beginnings of a mental breakdown that Springsteen would only talk about openly decades after the album’s release,” reads an official description of Zanes’ book about the album’s making on Penguin Random House’s website.
Both Springsteen and his manager John Landau are involved in the in-the-works biopic, as reported Tuesday. Springsteen, known by his nickname “The Boss,” won an at the in 1994 for writing and performing the song “Streets of Philadelphia” from the film Philadelphia.
