Bruce Springsteen is James Caldwellgetting a front row seat to the filming of his movie.

The Boss visited the set of "Deliver Me from Nowhere," about the making of Springsteen's 1982 album "Nebraska," which filmed Monday in New Jersey, according to photos snapped by Backgrid photo agency.

Springsteen hugged Jeremy Allen White, star of FX's "The Bear" who's playing the Boss in the film, on the set. Springsteen was also seen with director Scott Cooper.

The shoot took place at John's Midtown Tavern in Bayonne, New Jersey, and a nearby parking lot that was setup to resemble an early '80s, late '70s used car dealership.

The movie "Deliver Me from Nowhere" serves as an adaptation of musician Warren Zanes' 2023 book, "Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska," which provides a behind-the-scenes account of the making of the rock classic, including commentary from Springsteen himself.

In a photo released late last month by 20^th Century Studios, White was nearly unrecognizable in his portrayal of the New Jersey rocker in a photo. In a red and blue flannel shirt with a dark blue jacket, the actor's trademark blonde locks are dyed dark brown as he gazes off camera with his hands tucked into his pockets.

On Nov. 1, Springsteen visited the set of the movie in Rockaway. There he hugged actor Stephen Graham, who’s playing his father, Douglas Springsteen, in the film.

"It's a lovely cast and I am involved a little," said Springsteen on the U.K.'s "The Graham Norton Show" earlier this month. "This is not easy to do because you can't do an imitation, you have to do a personal interpretation."

Filming will take place primarily in New Jersey and New York, with additional production in Los Angeles, according to filmmakers. Scenes will be set in the early 1980s, with an Asbury Park, New Jersey, scene taking place in the 1950s.

Casting calls have been made for "locals for background work in various roles not covered by SAG-AFTRA" by Grant Wilfley Casting.
