Released in 2019 was [inlink id="bruce-springsteen-blinded-by-the-light-movie" text="Blinded By The Light"]. The film tells the story of Javed, a British teen of Pakistani descent, growing up in England in 1987 amidst racial and economic turmoil. Javed is passionate about poetry and then his passion is turned upside down when a classmate introduces him to the music of The Boss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DmmHvnS0IKM   Blinded By The Light was based on Sarfraz Manzoor's memoir Greetings from Bury Park and comes from writer/director/producer Gurinder Chadha, best known for 2002's Bend It Like Beckham. Manzoor told us in an [inlink id="blinded-by-the-light-writer-sarfraz-manzoor-talks-about-film-adaptation-of-his-memoir-springsteens-blessing" text="August 2019 interview"] that Springsteen not only gave his blessing in the making of the film, but he let the small-budget film use his music in the film for free. "He's given 19 songs...He's given the most valuable thing he has with his back catalog to a story about a Pakistani teenager in England in the 1980s," said Manzoor. "Think about how much he could sell his music for; he gave it to us for nothing. It's a British Independent film. We didn't have a studio backing us. It was just a small-budget film, and he basically said you can have the entire back catalog."   [select-listicle listicle_id="383586" syndication_name="scott-weiland-9-other-musicians-with-biopics-in-the-works" description="no"]
