Who should play Ian Curtis?

Cillian Murphy (28 Days Later, Batman Begins)

He's gangly, slightly weird looking and he can act.
 
Watched that 24 Hour Party People last night - not a bad film as it goes - the fella who played Sean Ryder was bang on the money if you ask me.

New Order were confined to bit part roles, Ralf Little was predictably crap, John Simms wasn't the best casting choice as Sumner...

The Tourettes syndrome fella from Shameless might do a good job as Curtis... he's probably a bit old though...
 
I can do a good Curtis impression. Admittedly it's limited to foaming at the mouth and twitching....
I guess I could do a stunt Curtis then.

WHAT!
Why'd he kill himself? No-one will really understand.
Could anyone see it coming?
What was the secret that Hooky said would be revealed?
Did he fake his fits ( like someone on her suggested )?
Why does he still haunt me after 25 years?

Christ,Elvis and the Pope rolled togethrt wouldn't be as much entetainment, unless of course you older farts want pure cock glam rock excess.

:confused: Bloody hell ! See what I mean ! Judging by what you say the whole bloody film would be guesswork :D

i'm glad you said that,i thought that but didn't post it cos i thought i was being ridiculous.
well the twunt from the Rakes THINKS he's Ian fucking Curtis, so let him do it
Ditto the lead singer with Editors. Ditto the bass player out of Interpol (yes,Pigeon,the camp Nazi one :D ).

That fella from Editors sounds just like Curtis too, except way more cheerful.

And he's dating Edith Bowman too, the lucky f...

Maybe they could get her to play Debbie Curtis just for good measure?

I can think of a few things she can play, none of them fit for theatre audiences though...

Too pretty. Not that I give a shit, since I am unable to find my interest in either Joy Division or Ian Curtis even with the aid of powerful electron microscopy.

Pete Doherty
I absolutely agree. Pete Doherty is the Ian Curtis of the modern day. A talentless, attention seeking turd from an over rated band. I'm sure Mr Doherty will play him to a tee.

Are you confusing Joy Division with A Flock Of Seagulls? ;)
easily done,i guess...
A member of AFOS lives just round the corner from Curtis's former house near where I live - maybe he'll get a part in the film.

They must be cracking on with the film at last, because Antony H Wilson seems to be spending a lot of time in these parts.
