[Unknown Pleasures] Re: Joy Division Movie News

I think the fact hollywood is making a movie about Ian is something
he would not have wanted.
He liked underground/independant things...of course, no-one but
people who knew him know the exact extent of his tastes but i'm sure
he would not like the fact that the history of his own personal life
is going to have mass exposure.

(I'm not a big film fan though). Perhaps a young or non-film actor
(theatre or something), but then the movie wouldn't make financial
sense, and I doubt the company's making it because they're Joy
Division fans...one of the things that I liked about 24HPP. that they
cast unknown actors in most of the roles. But 24HPP seemed like a
fan's project, and this doesn't. It's becoming a bit scary, actually.

Ian didn't want to sell out, he wanted to quit the band after Unknown Pleasures and Transmission had been released...by the time of Closer, he was very tired...

I take it back, it must have been some other random band that always wanted to sign to some major label. However, I know that Ian initially desperately wanted...

That's why i think Ian would have been happy with 24hr party people. Sean Harris gave a brilliant portrayal of Ian (even if the telling of the story added a...
