HBO lands historic Bruce Springsteen film
Get ready to rock with the Boss into the past on HBO. The premium network Saturday announced it had landed a documentary based on 30-year-old film made by Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band as they recorded one of their key albums. The Promise: The Making of "Darkness on the Edge of Town" will be televised in October.
"They filmed the artistic process and put it in a vault," said HBO co-president Richard Plepler. "It's absolutely riveting, whether you're a huge Springsteen fan or not."
"Utterly mesmerizing," echoed president of programming Michael Lombardo.
The old film was shot between 1976 and 1978. Filmmaker Thom Zimny, who won an editing Emmy in 2001 for HBO's Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band: Live in New York City, worked with Springsteen to fashion an 85-minute documentary melding the old footage with contemporary recollections and commentary from the band members.
"We're thrilled to present a magical inside look at what it takes to make a work of art," said HBO exec Nancy Geller.
