Okay, I think the guy who started this thread was being serious, people! Can't we for once not give in to the childish and lazy habit of mocking the very idea of this thread by suggesting imporbable and quite honestly insulting possibilities to play the late great Ian Curtis. Goddamit, people! Can't we be serious for once?....

That being said...my money's on Gary Busey :p

shane mcgowan if he lives that long

John Lydon.

i'd like to see some actor who is actually ian's age. i don't know many of the up-and-coming british actors, but there must be a few who could do it.

As long it's not Jude Law...

That wouldn't be at all convincing: Gary Coleman is far too short.

A fan dabbie dozzie idea :D

There's a homeless guy down the road who's a great actor at having various maladies - I'm sure if you promise him free booze, he'll be glad to take the part.

Having watched BATMAN BEGINS again at Xmas on DVD,I stand by my choice of Cillian Murphy (The Scarecrow).Not only is he supposed to be a JD fan,it's something about the eyes.

Cillian Murphy is a bit too short to play Ian.

Though I'm not a big fan on teen idols, Joshua Jackson would probably be a good match for Ian. He has Ian's eyes and his height.

Now, that's good for an American actor. I wonder who would be a good British actor for the part.

Carl "Apollo Creed" Weathers, the only star of Predator to NOT become a governor

surely the Hoff is free?

Do you mean Dustin Hoffman? Am I ?

Is this a British film,or an American film? I think that will make all the difference in which actor will play Curtis, don't you? If it's an American film, it will have to be someone who can handle the guns, car explosions, and fight scenes with that cool, steely demeanor. Maybe Bruce Willis? Or, since he's playing a Brit, maybe Jason Statham.

Good choice, though I do worry "Ian" would spend too much time indulging in his obsession with getting a stew going and not enough time trying to kill himself

Also, the movie would have to be rewritten to have Ian die in the ring at the hands of a Russian boxer, and be avenged by his former rival and friend Rocky Balboa :p
