Bruce Springsteen will be re-issuing a deluxe version of Darkness on the Edge of Town in the closing months of 2010. Accompanying the re-issue is a documentary, telling the story of how the band brought the album to life and highlights of life during that time. The film, The Promise, is scheduled to premiere September 14, 2010 at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The documentary features video footage of never before scene home rehearsals and recording sessions. During that time, drummer Max Weinberg recalls someone with a hand held camera around all the time. Which is a real treat for fans when bands capture career making moments on film.

Currently Bruce is working on finishing the album re-issue. In a recent statement, E Street Band guitarist Steve Van Zandt told Rolling Stone, “we’re doing a little bit of fixes on some Darkness on the Edge of Town outtakes, which is going to be a really fun reissue coming for Christmas. We put 10 or so outtakes on the [1998] Tracks box-set and we found 10 more. I’m not sure how many we’ll put on there. We’ll go back and he [Bruce] might finish a lyric on one or two, or finish a harmony on one or two, but we’ll keep them intact pretty much.”
