Does anybody else like their music? Normally I would post a song but since I'm on a public computer -that's a big no no. Here is a list of "Love will Tear us Apart" songs. Hopefully there is one in there that is listenable.

There is a new movie coming out about the whole story of Joy Division/Ian Curtis.

Jude Law For Joy Division Biopic

As previously reported on Xfm Online, as work is set to begin on a new film about the life of the late Ian Curtis, Jude Law is rumoured to be playing the Joy Division frontman.

Ex-Joy Division and New Order bassplayer Peter Hook has been speaking to the Macclesfield Express about the forthcoming movie revealing, "The whisper I've heard is that Jude Law will probably play the role. It's not a bad choice. The film is being made by Hollywood, but what's important is that they get the story right.”

Other possible contenders for the role could be Irish-born actor Colin Farrell, Ewan McGregor or Mancunian Max Beesley, though Hook said he didn't think any of them would be suitable for the role.

"We are speaking with an actor who is huge and looks rather a lot like Ian,” producer Todd Eckert confirmed. “He has just finished a couple of films in which the only thing he listened to was Joy Division and New Order.”

"Should this guy ultimately agree that he is going to play Ian, it would make it a much bigger film. Ian Curtis is one of the most important figures in the history of music."

The film will be based on Curtis' widow Deborah's memoir ‘Touching From A Distance’, is likely to made in Manchester.

Ian Curtis committed suicide on May 18 1980 aged 23, shortly before he was due to tour the US with Joy Division.

I really like them a lot. Love will tear us apart is a good song, but not their best. THe movie 24 hour party people told a bit of their story and followed them into New Order after Ian's death. It was a pretty good movie too.

This is exciting to see they're making a movie about this. I didn't know he was so young when he died...
