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

Out of all the 'Rocky' pictures, that's still my favorite one.

In a world, on the brink of collapse, there's just one man who can figure it all out...

IC: You don't want to fuck with me, major international terrorist fucker. I've had a terrible day, and you just made my "to-do" list.

Alan Rickman [mincing German Accent]: You wouldn't shoot an unarmed man, would you, Curtis?

He's getting out of the music business, and into the ass-kicking business

IC: I'll give you til the count of ten to get out of my way...one

Rickman: But...

IC: Two...

Rickman: A-ha, I have a weapon after all...this thermo-nuclear device that will go off if I expire!

IC: [pause to puff on cigarette]...I'll take those chances [pops a shot at the camera]

This summer, the baddest motherfucker...will be Ian "Death Metal" Curtis!

(Manchester going up in nuclear blast as LWTUA blares on the soundtrack)

Pierce Brosnan is Bruce Willis is Sly Stallone is James Bond as....Ian Curtis in "She's Lost Control Of the ThermoNuclear Device In Her Pants, and Now She's a Dead Soul!!!!!!

IC: Oh fuck it, I'll ring Barney up and see if he wants to get pissed in Salford.

Coming to Theaters This Christmas

I so heard it all said in that gravelly voiceover the one guy does in all the previews. Good one, Taboo!

Taboo, I love your parody. Keep it up.

ROD STEWART as Ian Curtis...the oldest swinger in town.(OUCH!)

I took this picture myself in Barfly, London. :D

Good God! He does look like Ian, especially with that guitar. Reminds me of the music video for LWTUA. If he can act, Finn Vine would be my first choice.

i second Samuel L. Jackson... slightly change Joy Division into black jazz/ proto- hip hop group trying to make it big in 1930s Berlin, but gets censored and harasssed by the Nazis. Ian (Sam) would hang himself before going to the concentration camp... it would make a very moving movie that has it all, and clean up at the awards

It's summer time, and Ian Curtis is after one thing...

IC: Fellas, the ladies are out on the beach, just waiting for four young studs to bed them. Who's in?

Sex may be the only thing on his mind, but it's not the only thing he's getting

Barney: What's third base like?

IC: It's like a slice of warm fish pie...

(cut to Barney fucking a fish pie)

Yep, they're just randy horny English teens, and they're ripe for picking!

Hooky: Mrs. Sumner, you're trying to seduce me, aren't you?

This summer, they're gonna go all the way...

IC: Oh...oh Debbie.

Female: My name's Annik, asshole!

IC: That's what I said...does it matter? Here, take this pill and it'll all be better.

Or die trying

Steve: You fancy a screw?

Gillian: Yeah, alright.

You'll never look at pie the same way

Eugene Levy: We'll just tell your mother that we...ate the pie...

This summer, it's all about the pie...MANCHESTER PIE!!!

Barney: What, you want me to finish that fucking pie?

Coming to theaters this August...Love will tear it apart, or Barney's big dick. Whichever comes first!...

Prefered the Ian 'Death Metal' Curtis one .

Topher Grace from "That 70's show"

He's a bit mainstream but sure does look a lot like Ian

You just can't stop yourself, Trevor. What idea can you come up with next?

From the Master of Modern Horror comes a tale so chilling, it could only be made up

IC: Guys, we're just a bunch of ordinary men trapped together on an artic base with a shape-shifting alien that can transform into any one of us once it kills us off. Our chances of survival aren't great. And I thought I'd write a song about it called "Living In the Ice Age".

Other cast members: Wait, what was that part about the alien again?

John Carpenter returns to the big screen, and Ian Curtis is his rough-and-ready hero for the adventures to come!

IC: Okay, here's the situation: the President's plane has gone down in the island fortress of Manhatten...but first let me demo this rough mix of "Dead Souls" so you can learn the chord changes

Other cast members: Wait, what was that part about the Prez going down in Manhatten?

Carpenter combines all of his scripts, including the half-baked ones, to render the cinema obselete with his magnum opus starring the former Joy Division frontman. And it put Paramount out of business before it even opened!

IC: Here's the skinny: there's a good chance we might get attacked by angry vampires, fog-bound pirates, or Lee Van Cleef. Oh, and I thought maybe we could call the album "Closer". What do you think?

Other cast members:...wait, what about the vampires?

IC: Maybe you guys would go for a tender love story about an alien from outer space and an earth woman? Or a killer car?

This Summer: John Carpenter's The Thing From Halloween Who Got Lost In the Fog with Christine and an Assault on Precinct 13 by Vampires While Escaping From New York and Los Angeles...starring Jude Law! as Ian Curtis!

Other cast members: Wait, what was that part about Lee Van Cleef?

Go see it this summer...if you dare

Sorry, but

I saw a photo of a young George Best the other day and the likeness to Curtis was incredible!

I did see some other actor recently who looked Curtisy, but it slips my drunken mind at present......

Please don't mention Jude Law again. On the bright side, I'm glad you came up with a new idea:D
