haha itd be fun to see one of those ridiculous cell phone filmers we see in todays audiences in a film abouta post-punk band from manchester during the late 70s
They are not a band. Just a bunch of actors that they got that could sing and play instruments. They jammed so much during rehearsals that they became kinda like a band. They became good enough to play the songs live to add some realism.
Well...this is the only copy we made on that day, using a Nokia phone:) funny to think that others are claiming this as the real thing, when it quite clearly says it was done at the aftershow of one of the film shoots! Still, I've not seen any other footage, which seems quite surprising given the amount of cameras there;)
well, not with the same atmosphere, power and intensity as Joy Division. that is impossible, no one can recreate what Joy Division brought into the world, they can only make there own little inferior copies
i relised aged 15 that joy division were always goin to be the most important band in my life.25years on and the rest of the world gradually catches up.they will prove to be the most important band since the beatles.i hope Martin(rip) gets his dues in Control.seanx
When is this out Proto? What role did you have in the film? Was it filmed around Manchester/Macc? There was a film crew in Hyde last year, I was hoping it would be for this but it wasn't.
They were performing live over a drum backing track, if you follow me, for the filming. This was a live performaance after the shooting had finished, a present for the extras present during the filming. The fact that they could actually play the tracks very well was just amazing!
I was an extra in that film!!!! jealous yes you should be ha ha, It was full to the brim of Joy Division fans wicked such a nice atmosphere-but it was damn hot in there!. can't wait to see if my fro made the final cut. They really did play very convincingly @ that. Should b a an excellentf ilm wicked Director plus Samantha representing Notts! all round cool
if , i say IF they play live,they're very good

Perhaps you were recording on your cell phone a reactment of the stage used and performed on back during a 1978 joy division concert.
Could be why your footage looks like the orginal.If I rember correct the ther footage posted was much darker and fuzzier then yours.

Man, that must of been great to see them play that live. What a brilliant job! Best Joy Division cover band I've ever heard.. They should do a tour.

Any one else suspect this video is fake? This looks more like the actors from the new movie CONTROL to me.

A large part of it was filmed in Nottingham b/c it looks more like Manchester did back then.
