New Order, Bowie, Iggy Pop & Roxy Music are to contribute music to the soundtrack of the bio-pic about Ian Curtis, as directed by Anton Corbijn...

A short message from a Dutch Ceefax page. Hell of an exciting list, innit?

The message says they are working together, but I think that would be TOO good to be true, wouldn't it?

I will try if I can dig up more facts...

www.imdb.com still lists this picture as being in pre-production.

I cannot find where they got their info from, but I have found a site with loads of kewl info;

"We were asked to do the soundtrack to the film, which I thought was a fucking great idea - for Joy Division to do the music for a Joy Division film - because we've never really done a soundtrack before." ... "It may include new stuff. Anton wants to use songs by Joy Division so that each song becomes a video. Like the way the Atmosphere video was filmed, he wants to write videos that appear in the film." - Peter Hook as reported by Andre Paine from BBC6 Music December 2006

I read this. It sounds great. I think I also read that The Buzzcocks, Sex Pistols and Lou Reed will be included too.

This is gonna be SO much better than 24 Hour Party People, I can just tell. I'm glad that they got Anton on board for this.

I am VERY curious about this, Anton is such a sincere fellow... with this amazing vision. And he actually met Ian, so that must be one of the reasons he got New Order to commit.
