The level of new found success Bruce Springsteen and his band achieved with Born To Run brought with it incredible pressure to meet or beat expectations with the follow-up album. Actor Ed Norton, who met Springsteen at a concert a decade ago, conducts a Q&A session with The Boss before the film that documents the making of Darkness On The Edge Of Town premiers at the Toronto Film Festival Tuesday (9/14). Like many fans, Norton says the songs on the 1978 release made it pivotal to him. He credits the film for doing a great job of conveying the creative process behind the album, telling David German of the Associated Press, 'Any artist, I think, will appreciate the chance to see someone who is as great as he is at that age struggling and struggling and struggling to get things to where he hears them in his head.' The Promise will run on HBO October 7 and be included as a DVD in the box set of the Darkness On The Edge Of Town deluxe re-release due November 16 (story).
