Bruce Springsteen gets cinematic with Western Stars

"Life's mysteries remain and deepen, its answers unresolved"

"We all have our broken pieces ... nobody gets away unhurt. We're always trying to find somebody whose broken pieces fit with our broken pieces and something whole emerges"

On the heels of the release of Bruce Springsteen's nineteenth studio album Western Stars, Warner Bros Pictures has announced the release of the cinematic experience accompanying the album. The new film features Springsteen performing all 13 tracks from the new album, accompanied by a full orchestra in his 100-year-old barn. The film will also showcase old home footage as well as Springsteen's life-earned ruminations we've seen through his career- brought to life recently with his stint on Broadway and on his Netflix special.

Warner Bros. exec Toby Emmerich has said about Western Stars and Springsteen;

"Bruce lives in the super rarified air of artists who have blazed new and important trails deep into their careers. With ‘Western Stars,’ Bruce is pivoting yet again, taking us with him on an emotional and introspective cinematic journey, looking back and looking ahead."

Western Stars will premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival, kicking off September 5th. The film was produced by Jon Landau, Barbara Carr, and George Travis with Springsteen executive producing it. Western Stars was co-directed by Springsteen and longtime collaborator Thom Zimny.
