Hi there,

I am working on the pre production of what is set to be very exciting and groundbreaking documentary on which we would love your input. Let me tell you a bit about the project - The Documentary will be directed by Grant Gee and written by Jon Savage, all the original band members are signed up as well as all the key protagonists from the band's story including Peter Saville, Tony Wilson, etc. The documentary is for worldwide distribution; TV, Video and theatrical release

For now we are interested in the following:

Your archives - we know how precious these are to you and understand just how priceless they are - what we would love is a list of everything you have and what you will allow us to take footage of?

Your knowledge - in particular do you know of any recording - audio and or video of the band talking.

Also back in 1979-1980 the NME letters page had a ‘vigorous debate’ going on as to whether JD were Nazis (or not). We would love to see this do you know anyone who was involved in this?

Thanks so much - i appreciate any help or assistance you can offer on what is set to be a very exciting project. Kind Regards,

Ed Webb-Ingall

I hope "Brown Owl Films" treat volunteers a bit better than that lot filming "Control" who ring you up at 7am, tell you to drive to the arsehole of the universe, treat you like cattle all day and then never even bother pay you the poxy fee that you were promised.

Pah.

FRADS! You didn't get paid? Wot's that all about? When they going to sort your Thespian wages out? Think we should send the boys round.

No wonder it's a "ground-breaking" documentary if they've managed to sign up ALL the original members of Joy Division...

Brown Owl, you are a bunch of tits!

Oh dear, I'm not surprised - they were really arsey on the phone. It will all be worth it when you are pausing the DVD to amuse your friends and family with your erratic dancing.

Re: That "JD as Nazis" NME debate 79-80.

Wasn't it a letter from a "Rudolph Hess" slagging off Unknown Pleasures that kick-started everything?

Think he might be a bit difficult to get hold of.

Think they'd better update their intro page for their website.. I went there expecting something different than just an info page on their Depeche Mode documentary...

I have it, but feck knows where it is.

I have volumes 1 and 2 in PDF format if anybody needs them (files are large tho')?

a last-minute cash-in to be released when Control comes out? methinks so.
