After leaving his position as the head of Netflix Film, Scott Stuber has collaborated with Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Eric Robinson of Gotham Group to produce a film about The Boss. This is Stuber’s first significant film project since leaving his position. Scott Cooper will be in charge of directing the narrative feature film Deliver Me from Nowhere. The film will tell the story of Bruce Springsteen and the lengthy process that he went through in order to put together his iconic album Nebraska, which was released in 1982. The album began to take shape when Springsteen and the E Street Band were recording music for his big success album Born in the USA. It is a reimagining of Warren Zanes’ book, which came out the year before.
Jeremy Allen White, who starred in The Bear, is the leading candidate to play Springsteen, and discussions with A24 are currently taking place to produce the film. Even though negotiations have not yet commenced with the actor, it is expected that he would travel to New Jersey for a fall shoot once the Emmy winner completes the fourth season of The Bear in June
Springsteen’s enormous success and standing as the best songwriter and melody creator over the course of decades is belied by the personal circumstances of an upbringing with a father who suffered from depression, which is something Springsteen has also struggled with. This is something that we have learnt. Many people consider Nebraska to be his most raw and greatest album. In 1982, he was experiencing the repercussions of the situation, and he poured a lot of that gloom onto the album. When he created those songs, he was in the process of dealing with the process of becoming a global sensation, and he did not actually mean to turn them into an album. He accomplished this feat by himself in a bedroom of a house that he rented in Colts Neck, New Jersey, using a straightforward four-track recorder.
One of the most significant influences on Springsteen was the film Badlands, which was directed by Terrence Malick. Springsteen addressed the film directly in the song “Nebraska,” as well as in other songs such as “Atlantic City,” “Highway Patrolman,” “State Trooper,” and many more. Each song is a timeless classic. His albums Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town, and The River all brought him a great deal of success, which led to this development. The sequel to The River was titled Nebraska, and subsequently the sequel to Born in the USA was released. Although the song that served as the title track of that album was about a dejected Vietnam veteran, it was such an anthem that its meaning was unclear for a considerable amount of time.
In 2009, Cooper made the shift from actor to writer-director with the release of Crazy Heart, a film with a musical theme. Crazy Heart was nominated for an Academy Award and won for star Jeff Bridges, as well as for T Bone Burnett and Ryan Bingham for their original song “The Weary Kind.” Maggie Gyllenhaal was also nominated for an Academy Award. The Boss is Cooper’s new boss, bringing him full circle.
Springsteen and his manager Jon Landau are both actively involved in the project, and additional information will be provided in the near future. The Boss has composed or contributed songs to films that have resonated with him, and in 1994, he was awarded the Academy Award for Best Original Song for his recording of “Streets of Philadelphia.” Despite the fact that he has created films based on individual albums in collaboration with Thom Zimny, this is a new territory for the star.
Netflix loses Scott Stuber. In March, he will establish his own media company after serving as Netflix film chairman since 2017.
This has been planned for a while now, since rumors have been circulating that his mentality differs from that of Netflix toppers, whose main goal has always been to create high-quality movies for streaming. Similar to how Apple secured traditional distributors to worldwide release Killers of the Flower Moon and Napoleon, other streamers have transformed into theatrical first windows for several of their big-budget films. While Netflix has made a few high-end theater acquisitions in eligible areas like LA and NY, its main business strategy is international streaming, which does not require the massive production costs that are typically associated with Hollywood blockbusters.
During this time, Stuber will remain on staff to assist with the transfer, and Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria will take charge until a permanent successor is found.
The conventional waterfall platform, which begins with the theatrical release, was Stuber’s indoctrination into filmmaking during his formative years as a producer at Universal. He’s got the capital to start a business that will probably use that model.
In his time at Netflix, he has completely revamped the company’s film slate. Under his wing, the streaming service has produced or acquired some of its most iconic features, including: Red Notice (still the most watched movie of all time), Bird Box, Hustle, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, All Quiet on the Western Front (winner of both an Oscar and a BAFTA), Pinocchio (Guillermo del Toro), The Adam Project, The Gray Man, The Power of the Dog (winner of both an Oscar and a BAFTA), Don’t Look Up, Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, Marriage Story, and Roma, which won Oscars.
Netflix was able to secure deals with A-list directors like Alfonso Cuarón, Spike Lee, Lee Daniels, Greta Gerwig, Zack Snyder, Susanne Bier, Rian Johnson, Jane Campion, and Martin Scorsese thanks to Stuber’s extensive network in the entertainment industry and his decades of expertise producing critically and commercially successful films.
As more and more streaming services have entered the market, star-driven films have become increasingly risky; for example, Red Notice and The Gray Man both made $200 million or more. Rian Johnson, Ram Bergman, and Daniel Craig’s Knives Out whodunit franchise was acquired by Netflix in a groundbreaking transaction worth over $400 million. Two films were received by them. From its Toronto premiere, the first, Glass Onion, was an enormous hit. Many speculated that Netflix’s infidelity with its streaming service was to blame for the fact that it failed to make a significant impact on the Oscar race. The majority of studios have racked up substantial debt trying to replicate Netflix’s model with their own streaming businesses, so it’s hard to say no. Many are still incurring losses.
Whoa, your teeth look really good!
The Bear Cast Discusses Season 3 Filming: Jeremy Allen White Discusses Carmy Hopes
At the Screen Actors Guild prizes, which took place on Saturday, the comedy series The Bear from FX ran away with all three of the top comedy series prizes. These awards were Best Ensemble, Best Actor for Jeremy Allen White, and Best Actress for Ayo Edebiri.
Since the show is presently in the production phase of its third season, White shared his thoughts behind the scenes about what he intends to accomplish with his character, Carmy.
“I was flying to Chicago and I got dropped a little note on a napkin while I was on the plane. All it said on it was, ‘I hope Carmy gets a happy ending.’ I think that’s all I really hoped for. That he learns how to understand himself a little bit better and appreciates what he has and then finds some peace.”
“I think a lot of the show is about found family and the connection we all are always searching for. What I want people to take away or understand, to me, is that it’s so much about loneliness and how to combat that. How to find belonging, how to communicate and connect. I hope those who watch it and enjoy it feel less alone,” he added later.
