That gave me the chills.

I'm ultra mega stoked.

Ultra-super-hella-mega-stoked is how stoked.

kinda feels like they blame his wife on his suicide.

other than that, i'm very excited to see it.

I think you mean they blame his suicide on his wife, but it would be interesting to see them prove the reverse. Either way, I just can't wait to see how it ends.

Yeah I've been waiting on this for months. So what's the deal on the release in Seattle? I know it's suppose to open in limited areas this weekend (obviously not in Seattle)...You have any insider info on that Eric?

So anyone know when it's being released in Seattle?

BTW...this is a much better preview of the movie: http://momentum.control.substance001.com/

Yeah, I have been following the production of this movie since they started work on it. I guess the movie is from Curtis's wifes point of view and the novel she wrote about him. I'm really excited.

novel or biography?

— Stoked indeed!

In my mind, I'm already in line for this like a Star Wars geek a month before opening.

The press screening is on 10/15, and the film opens on 10/26 at Seattle's Metro. Matt Greenhalgh's screenplay is based on Deborah Curtis's 1996 biography combined with new interviews. Deborah spoke with the surviving members of Joy Division, manager Rob Gretton, and Factory/Haçienda head Tony Wilson, but she--intentionally--neglected to interview Ian's Belgian mistress, Annik Honoré.

I should add that Landmark Theatres states that the film "tentatively opens 10/19." The 10/26 date comes from the local publicist.

Thank god for the French subtitles, otherwise I wouldn't have understood a word.

Actually, as I understand it, it's essentially based on the D Curtis book, but the filmmkaers actually took the time to talk to Annik in an effort to give a more broad view...

I loved it, but it'll be interesting to see what non-JD fans think--assuming they're interested in seeing it in the first place. Sam Riley is amazing.
