Peter Hook has said that he was approached by the US distributor of Joy Division film 'Control' to see if the legendary band would reform to play the US premiere of the film. They were asking for Joy Division to reform, note, not New Order. Hookie says: "Someone from the film's US distributor's office phoned up saying that the New York premiere was on September 25 and would Joy Division play? I replied 'Well, the last I heard, the lead singer was dead but I'll give them a ring and see if anything has changed'".
