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.

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

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..

also, tonight on BBC Four at 9:10 PM there's a documentary on Joy Division and New Order.

Anyone can be Curtis- get black hair, just look fucked up, spit on your self, and mumble jibberish like Jim Morrison with a dark undertone.

sean harris was pretty damn good in 24 hour party people.

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.
