  • Springsteen in Netflix's 'Lilyhammer': Steven Van Zandt Talks About Directing 'The Boss'

    Generally, Bruce Springsteen is the one giving orders to guitarist Steven Van Zandt of The E Street Band. He is, after all, The Boss. But when Springsteen decided to join Van Zandt on his Netflix series "Lilyhammer," the tables turned. The show's third season premiered on the streaming service in November, and for those who want to see Springsteen's acting chops, all they have to do is turn on the final episode titled "Loose Ends." "I know we're friends for 50 years, but still it meant a lot to me that he chose me and trusted me enough to direct him when literally everybody on earth's been wanting to do it," Van Zandt told "Billboard." Van Zandt plays an ex-mobster named Frank "The Fixer" Tagliano who is forced into hiding. He chooses Lilehammer in Norway as his place to lay low, but soon enough he is up to his old ways. Fans of "The Sopranos" will notice some similarities between Van Zandt's Frank and Silvio Dante. Springsteen joins the cast in season 3's final episode as Frank's brother.

  • Brad Pitt to Play Bruce Springsteen in Biopic?

    Let the rumors begin. A-list actor Brad Pitt is reportedly trying to play Bruce Springsteen in a biopic. Early reports claim that Pitt is raising funds to make a movie tentatively titled "The Boss." Springsteen has been approached many times before, but a source told the "The National Enquirer" that Pitt's involvement has peaked the rock star's interest. Now, you have to take anything from "TNE" with caution, but it's certainly a discussion worth having. A comprehensive biography titled "Bruce" came out in 2012, and it would provide decent source material for a movie. The aging rocker is still as active as ever in the music scene, which would potentially hinder a film production, though. And it's great that Pitt may want to do this, but there are other actors to consider for the part of the polarizing frontman. "Bruce is 65 now and he feels it's time, and this is Brad Pitt, so he is thinking it over," the source said. "Bruce and Brad share a desire to unite the world and serve the underrepresented and help the working people around the globe."
