Todd Eckert interviews on producing the forthcoming Joy Division movie, based in large part on the book by Ian Curtis's widow, Touching from a Distance:
We've compiled every appearance of Joy Division that has been put to film and you know what? Live - they were untouchable - they were the best band in the world. They were unfuckingbelievable - like stepping on an electric wire. We've got to be able to put that across. You only have one shot to make the movie of Ian Curtis, you can't fuck it up.
As Tony Wilson said, I don't expect it to top 24 Hour Party People, the great 2002 movie about Factory Records, from the birth of punk to the demise of acid house.
