Mojo magazine’s February issue is reporting that Depeche Mode’s Martin L. Gore is partly help financing the new film “Control”. Control is the story of the legendary band Joy Division and is being directed by long time DM collaborator, Anton Corbijn.

Here is an excerpt:

In the Shadow Play.

Directed by Dutch photographer Anton Corbijn, Control is set to open in UK cinemas in March, 2 years after its American producers Orian Williams and Tom Eckhert first contacted Mojo to discuss their new project. Eckert has spoken about their lengthy effort to get the film off the ground, having optioned the rights to 'Touching from a distance' in the late 90's. ''I don't think there are many really great stories out there.'' said Todd. ''But this is one of them.''

Williams, in particular, felt it crucial to find a director whom both Deborah and the surviving members of Joy Division could trust. Though Anton Corbijn had yet to direct a full feature film, the Dutchman’s credentials were impeccable. In 1980 he moved from Holland to Britain specifically to photograph the group, his iconic shots for NME launching a career that would see him in the 80's and beyond become first choice lensman for U2, Depeche Mode and R.E.M.

Indeed it was non other than Bono who told Williams at a party in 2004, ''You've got to get Anton to direct this movie''.

''Initially, (Corbijn) did not want to make a film about a musician”, explains Williams. ''But then he realized it wasn't a conventional biopic, it was a love story.'' Once on board the director's first stipulation was that the film should be shot in moody black and white. The result, says Williams has an ''abstract poetic, epic feel, but it's not arty, its not a fever dream. Its traditionally mapped out- Antons a big fan of old English movies, he loves David Lean, Truffuant, Jim Jarmush, (Loach's) Kes.''

Control - part-financed by Depeche Mode's Martin Gore - has, it seems won some important fans. The surviving members of Joy Division saw a preview on November 28th, reporting to Mojo that they ''very much approve of it and will be backing it 100%''. ''Initially the group were disinterested in the film, but at the same time were intrigued and wanted to get involved'' says Williams.''When we first met them backstage at a gig in Liverpool in 2005, Bernard said 'Just have some fun with it.' We did and the finished Movie is amazing.''

Control will be released in spring 2007, for more info go to www.controlthemovie.com

“Control” at Cannes
May 18 01:31 cet


Depeche Mode’s long time collaborator, Anton Corbijn, made his directorial debut with the film “Control”. The film, based on Ian Curtis of Joy Division, has been very well received at this years Cannes Film Festival.

CANNES, France (AP) -- A small film about a short-lived rock star is making a big splash at Cannes.

“Control”—the story of Joy Division singer Ian Curtis, who committed suicide at 23 -- marks the feature-film directing debut of rock photographer Anton Corbijn and features a star-making performance from British unknown Sam Riley.

The ingredients are familiar—a soupcon of sex, a dash of drugs, a blast of rock ‘n’ roll. But “Control,” which opened the film festival’s Directors’ Fortnight on Thursday, is far from a standard showbiz biopic.

Shot in stark black-and-white and set in gritty, unglamorous 1970s England, it re-creates the life of a singer who died unhappy and almost unknown but has secured a place in rock mythology.

The part came out of the blue for Riley, 27, who had abandoned an acting career to take an unsuccessful shot at fame with his band 10,000 Things.

“I don’t think we ever troubled the charts,” he said drily.

When Riley heard about auditions for the film, “I was working in a warehouse in Leeds, folding shirts.”

If the enthusiastic reception in Cannes is any indication, Riley can give up the day job. He is riveting as Curtis, an intense, charismatic performer who often appeared remote offstage.

Netherlands-born Corbijn, who turns 52 on Sunday, photographed Joy Division for British music magazines and went on to design album covers for Depeche Mode and U2. He said he knew as soon as he met Riley that he was perfect for the part.

When he moved to Britain in 1979, Corbijn said he was shocked by the country’s austerity and poverty.

“A lot of bands I met, including Joy Division, were kind of underdressed—a thin coat on, smoking and shivering in the cold,” he said. “When I met Sam it was also in the winter and he was totally the same.”

Pale and big-eyed, Riley resembles Curtis—but more importantly, said Corbijn, he “had an innocence and a freshness that I was hoping for but never thought I would find.”

Fans of music from the English city of Manchester, especially those who have seen Michael Winterbottom’s “24 Hour Party People,” will recognize the film’s milieu. It is set in northern England in the late 1970s, a place of gray skies and grim prospects that produced a slew of original and innovative bands, from the Buzzcocks to The Fall.

One of the most original was Joy Division, which melded guitars and electronica with Curtis’s baritone voice to create striking songs like “Transmission” and “Love Will Tear Us Apart.” They never hit the big time. Curtis, troubled by a failing marriage and worsening epilepsy, killed himself in 1980, on the eve of the band’s first U.S. tour.

Since then, Joy Division has been cited as an influence by Nine Inch Nails and U2, among others. The surviving band members went on to found ‘80s hitmakers New Order.

Adapted from a memoir by Curtis’ widow Deborah—played in the film by Samantha Morton—“Control” is an intense but far from grim experience. Shot through with down-to-earth northern English humor, it features a soundtrack that runs from David Bowie and Roxy Music to the Sex Pistols. Joy Division’s songs were convincingly re-created for the film by the actors, who all played their own instruments.

The other film flying the flag for rock ‘n’ roll at Cannes is the multicolored opposite of “Control.” The rockumentary “U2 3D,” which premieres Saturday, promises to let audiences see Bono, The Edge and bandmates, not only in color, but in eye-popping 3D.

Corbijn—who captured U2 in black and white for the “Joshua Tree” album cover—said he never considered shooting his Joy Division film in color.

“My whole memory of that period is black and white,” he said. “There is basically no color photography of that band around. So it felt very proper to the project.”
