Curtis, sea: Cannes plans

The Ian Curtis biopic is to get a premiere at the Cannes Film Festival later this year - precisely the sort of glittering, star-bejewelled occasion Curtis wasn't known for at all.

Gigwise reportsthe premiere will be:

attended by members of U2, Depeche Mode and the band formed from the ashes of Joy Division, New Order

They might want to rethink the use of a metaphorical "from the ashes", since Joy Divsion ended comprehensively with the actual funeral of the lead singer.
