With all the press and PR that Joy Division is receiving lately someone might think that they are a new band. Yet with a another screen appearance next month in the Toronto International Film Festival as a documentary simply called Joy Division. Co-written and directed by Grant Gee (whom you may remember for his work with another scrappy group of up-and-comers, Radiohead). The film was co-written by the always entertaining Jon Savage (fav music journalist).
Control, meanwhile, now appears set for an October 5 general theatrical release.
And as if that weren't enough, there's also significant chatter of late surrounding a set of expanded, remastered Joy Division reissues. While the info has not yet been confirmed, NME.com and several other outlets are reporting that Unknown Pleasures, Closer, and odds'n'ends collection Still will all receive the deluxe reissue treatment in the UK come September 10. Each will be bundled with a bonus disc. (via Pitchork)
