According to Variety, a new movie is being planned to tell the tragic life story of Joy Division's Ian Curtis. The film will be produced by Amy Hobby with the help of London-based Neal Weisman, a friend of former Factory Records boss Tony Wilson - who originally signed the band.
Talking to the trade mag in Cannes, Weisman said: "Ian Curtis was a tragic romantic in the classic sense of the word. He always thought he would be famous as some kind of poet and die by his mid-20s, and that's what happened."
No word on casting as yet, though Moby is reportedly on board to coordinate the music.
