Joy Division movie

Who else is excited for this? Does anyone know if this is going to be a wide release or a limited release to select cities (what I'm assuming)?

How long was Joy Division togther (not counting the reincarnation as New Order)? I wouldn't think it would be a wide release.

Different 'Joy Division'... though 24 Hour Party People was excellent.

No, it's the same Joy Division that became New Order. The film details the life of Ian Curtis (vocals, guitar.)

They were together for 3 years, from 77-80.

Imagine, I learned all that from Wikipedia.
