From Ananova
Ian Curtis movie planned
''The tragic life of Joy Division singer Ian Curtis is to be made into a film.
Moby will act as musical adviser on the film which is the brainchild of US producer Amy Hobby, reports Variety.
Curtis committed suicide, aged 23 in 1980, shortly before he was due to tour the US. His bandmates evolved into New Order.
The film is being made with the help of London-based Neal Weisman, a friend of Factory Records former chief Tony Wilson.
"Ian Curtis was a tragic romantic in the classic sense of the word," Weisman told Variety at the Cannes Film Festival.
"He always thought he would be famous as some kind of poet and die by his mid-20s, and that's what happened."
The film is expected to start shooting next year. There are no details of cast as yet.''
===================
I wonder who will play Ian and the gang?
Having Moby as the ''musical adviser'' is not something I'm excited about.

The only half decent thing Moby ever did was "Go"
and even then, it wasn't all that and a bag of crisps.
not good

Hahaha, I knew Moby was going to be the focal point here. But in our defense, there's not really any concrete information to talk about with this film EXCEPT Moby. As more info comes in, we will have additional info to bitch and moan and complain about.
I want Jude Law to play Ian.

why would they get law? they should just ask interpol to play the members of jd, since they are basically the same band.
