Good news for Canadian Springsteen fans and film festival enthusiasts. The Promise: The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town, which will presumably be released with the upcoming Darkness reissue we’re all so excited about, will make it’s debut at this year’s Toronto Film Festival. The Festival runs from September 9-19. The film was directed by Thom Zimny, who also directed Wings For Wheels: The Making Of Born To Run, and edited Springsteen’s Live In Hide Park and Hammersmith Odeon DVDs.

Here’s the official description:

“The Promise: The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town takes us into the studio with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band for the recording of their fourth album. Grammy and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Thom Zimny has collaborated with Springsteen on this documentary, gaining access to never before seen footage shot between 1976-1978, capturing home rehearsals and recording sessions that allow us to see Springsteen’s creative process at work.”

Sounds like a hit.
