From director Scott Cooper comes Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, a gripping biographical drama starring Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen. Based on Warren Zanes’ book, the film explores the creation of Springsteen’s stark 1982 masterpiece Nebraska, as he retreats to rural New Jersey to confront fame, family, and his own inner turmoil.

Co-starring Jeremy Strong, Odessa Young, and Stephen Graham, the film premiered at the 52nd Telluride Film Festival before its theatrical release on October 24, 2025.

🎸 Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere is a haunting portrait of an artist finding truth in solitude — and music in the silence.

Nuremberg is a gripping historical drama and psychological thriller that explores the human and moral complexities of the infamous Nuremberg Trials. Based on Jack El-Hai’s book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist, the film follows U.S. Army psychiatrist Douglas Kelley (Rami Malek) as he evaluates the mental fitness of high-ranking Nazi officials, including Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe), in the aftermath of World War II.
As Kelley navigates the psychological games, shifting loyalties, and moral ambiguities of the prisoners, he becomes entangled in the intricacies of justice, propaganda, and personal ambition. Meanwhile, prosecutors Robert Jackson (Michael Shannon) and Sir David Maxwell Fyfe seek to hold the Nazi leadership accountable for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and crimes against peace, setting the stage for one of history’s most consequential trials.
Lauded for Crowe’s commanding performance as Göring, the film premiered at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, earning one of the festival’s longest standing ovations. Nuremberg offers a tense, immersive portrait of post-war justice and the human cost of confronting evil.
