Jude's New Film Role Is No Real Joy
Jude Law is reported to have signed a deal to take on the role of tragic Joy Division singer Ian Curtis.
The role is an unusual one for the British actor, who had recent big screen success in the American Civil War film Cold Mountain.
The film has been backed by Hollywood and is apparently based on the book by Curtis' widow, Deborah.
Curtis committed suicide in 1980 when he was only 23 years old.
He is remembered as one of the UK's most troubled and talented musicians.
The surviving members of the band went on to form New Order.
Their classic hit Blue Monday was inspired by Curtis' suicide.
Bass guitarist Peter Hook said Law was "not a bad choice".
But he said he would have preferred to have seen Sean Harris reprise his role for the biopic, having played Curtis in 24 Hour Party People.
