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!”
