They should do the sequel following New Order


They just need to cast someone as Gillian Gilbreth, it would be awesome.

I'm a big New Order fan, maybe even a bigger fan of them than Joy Division, but a movie about them would be terrible.

- They get famous
- They break up
- They have a comeback
- They break up
- They have another comeback
- They break up again

I'm going to have to agree. I love New Order, probably more than Joy Division, but their story isn't nearly as interesting as their music. I suspect the guys themselves are rather boring when they're not playing, actually.

I think you would probably be surprised!

They loved the New York dance scene and spent a bit of time there, they made some records there too, they owned the legendary Hacienda, they were part of the whole ridiculous but wonderful thing that was Factory records...I bet they got up to all sorts of stuff! Of course I'm talking about them mainly in the 80's, I'm sure these days they are much more middle aged because they are...middle aged!

Maybe a New Order film would work after all. I'd see it. One thing's for sure: It would have an excellent soundtrack.

And we're all on various sides of middle-age these days, some more than others.

Ha ha. Ain't that the truth!

No, the film would just be them sat around not doing much between albums and staying at home in Macclesfield.

Back in the 80's I loved New Order and still do to this day. I personally think they are far superior to Joy Division in every way.

I don't think they shouldn't, but although I'd watching it, I also don't think they SHOULD. lol
