A movie about the Joy Division vocalist is currently in the planning stages, and should be produced by Amy Hobby with a little help from a guy called Neal Weisman. Any ideas? No, me neither. Still, it transpires that Mr Weisman is a good mate of Tony Wilson, the ex-Factory Records boss who signed Joy Division in the first place.
Weisman told trade magazine Variety: ""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."
Apparently Moby will co-ordinate the music for the film. Whoopee-do.

Romantic poet? We shall see.
I love the music, but it's hard not to notice his nazi sympathising. Even his wife admitted that he was a notorious racist. Like I say, nowt to do with the music- but perhaps making a film celebrating him for the sake of him and not the band he was in is a bit pish.

I used a fair bit of Moby for soundtrack ambience and background music. He's not as shit when there is stuff to look at as well.
He's expensive, you know? Well, the Copyright of his music is, anyway...

as they have little or no apparent meaning, but then when i try to analyse what happened they appear to have a deep,philosophical and topical meaning.
