At TIFF Edward Norton onstage interview with Bruce Springsteen

At TIFF Actor Edward Norton will interview rocker Bruce Springsteen onstage next month, Rolling Stone reports.

By the Toronto International Film Festival the event hasn't been confirmed, but Springsteen is expected to be in town for the Gala world premiere at Roy Thomson Hall of The Promise: The Making of Darkness on the Edge of Town, a documentary of the behind the scenes drama surrounding his landmark 1978 album. The date of the Gala hasn’t yet been announced.

At TIFF the interview would most probably be part of a separate event. A great bet is the Mavericks section, run by documentary programmer Thom Powers, in which filmmakers talk about their work.

Springsteen collaborated on The Promise with director Thom Zimny, making available previously unreleased videotapes and recordings of the album sessions.

Fight Club actor Norton, who is also a political activist, is a fan and pal of The Boss. He helped conscript him to campaign for Barack Obama during the 2007-08 presidential campaign.

“He’s a friend,” Norton told Vanity Fair last fall.

“You can be totally un-objective about Bruce. Even (Ronald) Reagan was!”

Bruce Springsteen fan loses cancer fight

Bruce Springsteen's Working On A Dream tour was a dream come true for Shane Boyd Cowden.
The fact that the 32 year old Chatham man got to meet his idol and hear him perform live before he died offers comfort to his mother Colleen Boyd.
In Toronto the 2009 concert, which Colleen and Springsteen fans from around the world fought to get Shane tickets for, was the highlight of his life.
"After he was diagnosed (with cancer), it was on my bucket list for him," Colleen said. "That would be the top of the list."
She said her son, who died Tuesday, was autistic and had physical and developmental challenges.
Her battle to get him tickets to Springsteen's concert, after being told by Ticketmaster that there weren't any handicapped seats available, touched the community.
She was moved by the impact of the publicity and how fans from across the globe rallied to make sure Shane's dream came true.
"Usually someone with multiple disabilities is invisible," she said. "Everybody saw who he was."
Not only did Shane get to watch the concert, which kept him at the edge of his seat, he also met Springsteen before the show.
