if that untalented twat plays curtis I will personally wring the neck of the casting director
- kezza_20
that'll be uplifting.

Ewen McGregor might be a good one for Curtis
- jevad0
they should have nicholas lyndhurst play him - with a wig of course

24 hour party people was good enough for me, i'm not anticipating this new flick..
- pcas0

last i heard the same actor that played curtis in 24-hour part people will reprise the role but who knows.

corbijn is an amazing guy. he does video clips but is originally a photographer and set designer. amazing visualist.
the books a good read but told from the ex-wife (long time friend to all the band) so it's really mainly her view. probably on the money though. curtis was great but talk about an uptight, self inflated, anger management problem.

they should have hulk hogan playing curtis!
"love will tear us apart again, brother!"

(Jan 19 05, 19:56)"pffffffffffft... 'a music video guy'.. anton corbijn is not just a 'music video guy'..
come on, geeezz..
that sounded quite uncultured..
- unfittoprint0
exactly janne.
Corbijn isn't [just ] a 'music video director....
A great photographer right next to Sebastião Salgado.

true. and i know cuz i have been a hardcore fan since i was a kid..
i even met the man twice.

I think Corbijn is smack on the money as a choice. He's known those guys for decades (NO, the survivors that is) and as unfit pointed out, a WICKED photographer.
As for actor, I say get the fella from 24hr party ppl was ace. He's perfect.

Joy Division was about one of the first 'clients' and friends of Corbijn when he started to work in the UK a long time ago..
after that it was depeche mode and some obscure unknown band from Dublin, U2..
