Weinsteins are fans of ‘Joy Division’

Date:

During the Toronto film fest they called it the perfect compliment film to Anton Corbijn's Control, so it seems only natural that The Weinstein Company picked up the doc entitled Joy Division.

Directed by Grant Gee (whose Meeting People Is Easy is one of my fav. the behind the scenes docs on the music scene), this is a chronological account of the influential late 1970s English rock band. Expect some sort of early 2008 release – perhaps a release tie in with Control's eventual DVD release.
