Did another stint as extras on 'Control' today: still looking good. The band were playing "Dead Souls"; Curtis has a fit towards the end and has to be carried off. Between takes the actors played instrumental versions of "Disorder", "LWTUA", SLC", "Isolation" (and a few others) to keep us amused.
Got herded around like sheep and treated like 5-year-olds, but such is the price of love, I guess.
I take it you didn't stay for the evening...I got asked to stay, we filmed another gig bit. Do you remember the Unknown Pleasures banner on the side wall? They'd made a low stage in front of that, and they played Candidate to about sixty of us.

You do, but you have to accept it in kisses. Tongues only, OK?!

Nah, we weren't sexy enough to be asked to stay on, though after at 4.30am start I really didn't give a fuck.....
Candidate, though? Niiiiice. I liked the actors a lot more than the extras. Bunch of self-absorbed cunts by and large, IMHO.
Memories of tragic Ian THE filming of Control – the movie of Joy Division’s tragic frontman Ian Curtis – has left his former band mates with some mixed emotions. After Ian’s suicide in 1980, aged just 23, Joy Division famously went on to become New Order – and the band have given their full backing to the movie of Ian’s life currently being made by renowned music director Anton Corbijn. But when cast and crew invited the band to come and watch the filming, on location in Ian’s hometown of Macclesfield, it left them in a bit of a dilemma. New Order’s bassist Peter Hook tells me: “We were invited down when they were filming at Ian’s house. But it just freaked me out. I couldn’t even contemplate going down there. “I know a lot of New Order and Joy Division fans went out to watch the filming, but it’s something I just couldn’t do. It would bring back too many memories.” Meanwhile New Order drummer Stephen Morris says seeing photos from the film set was a weird experience. “When I saw the pictures it was a bit weird, I got a sort of creepy feeling, especially when you see Ian’s house,” Stephen tells me. “We met up with all the stars from the film at a gig of ours in July, and they invited us down to filming, but I think it would have been a bit strange for all of us.” New Order are to write the soundtrack for the new film – and will record for the first time in 30 years as Joy Division once again. And they’ve been helping out with some authentic details for the production. “They are using my guitars in the film which I’m quite pleased about,” says Peter. “And I’ve given them the coat that I always used to wear in Joy Division – unfortunately it doesn’t fit me anymore.” Actor Joe Anderson plays Peter in the film, but the bassist says he won’t be imparting any advice on how to play him. “It didn’t interest me when Ralf Little did it [for 24 Hour Party People], so I’m not that bothered now either. To be honest, I can’t remember myself at that point in time. “The only thing I’m upset about is that my son Jack is just a couple of years too young to have played me in the film. “He doesn’t half look like me, it’s quite uncanny,” he mused.

Yeah, I can agree with that. I had no idea what I was supposed to wear for the day so I got re-dressed in wardrobe, which I think is why I got asked to stay on. I really didn't mind having to get changed since I hadn't made a huge effort in the first place, but it was quite funny seeing a couple of girls who very obviously thought they were the stars of the movie get either sent straight out to change their clothes or just assigned as number threes. They looked gutted.
