But who’s to play Ian Curtis?

Let Pete Doherty take over and demand method acting from him. ;)

If it can’t be the bloke who played him in 24 Hour Party People, I go with Jude Law.

Title: Curtis?

Hmmm, don’t really see Jude in the role, myself.

John Simm played Barney in 24hr PP. He’d be my first choice.

Before you ask, a guy called Sean Harris played IC in that movie

I think Jude Law would be a bit old to play Ian Curtis - he was only about 23 when he died - Jude Law has got to be pushing 40…

Plus I think he is a shit actor.

DOB: 1972, and he looks younger than that, I reckon. You can’t deny he has the look of Curtis about him (better looking, of course, but I’m sure that could be remedied by make-up effects).

I should add I didn’t just come up with his name, I heard a rumour about his involvement. Mind you, the other rumour was that Colin Farrell was interested - haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :p

I recon it would probably be better if they dont get a big hollywood name in to do it… but then, its not up to me

The bloke from 24 PP did such a good job at the part it would be good to have him and not a big actor.

I just hope the film can live up to the book that Ian Curtis’ widow wrote. 24 Hour People was a good film, but it only touched the surface a little.

Peter Hook (JD bassist) was read that Jude Law would be taking the role of Ian. To be honest, I think that’ll be a good one.
