Anton Corbijn releases Ian Curtis Biopic with killer soundtrack

If you're not familiar with Anton Corbijn, pick a U2 photo out of a hat and odds are, it's his. Or watch music videos such as Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box", Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the SIlence", The Killers' "All These That That I've Done" or Joy Division's "Atmosphere." Anton Corbijn has always been obsessed with Ian Curtis, the former singer of Joy Division, who committed suicide before his prime. Now he has put his obsession into a biopic about Curits, titled Control. Judging by the trailer(and the chills I get), it's going to be amazing. The soundtrack has been released and it features the likes of New Order who supply the score, Bowie, The Velvet Underground, the Buzzcocks,The Killers who cover "Shadowplay" and many other hot shots. The film was already featured at the Cannes Film Festival this year. The film opens on October 10th. That's right, 10/10.
