The Killers Record Shadowplay 2006-10-06 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 8 Comments | British rockers The Killers (factcheck?) have recorded a version of Joy Division's 'Shadowplay' for an upcoming Ian Curtis biopic.
Dutchman Anton Corbijn's Control is the first such production of Curtis' life, and is co-produced by the ex-punk's wife Deborah, and based on her book 'Touching From A Distance.' The title is derived from Curtis' own composition 'She's Lost Control,' generally interpreted as a commentary on his own life.
The soundtrack is said to be recorded by the remaining members of Joy Division (now of New Order) under the title Joy Division, but The Killers were invited to contribute the cover as a personal favour to the director, who previously worked with the band on the video for single 'All These Things That I've Done.'
The track is already available as a digital download with selected copies of The Killers' latest release Sam's Town.

They're not from England they're from Las Vegas.

This is kind of cool, Shadowplay is really one of the only JD songs I like.

Oh haha that makes sense.

Actually I think that's pretty neat-o. I'm not a big Killers fan but I have enough faith that they'll take care of 'er.

This might be cool...
It's so awesome to see anyone other than Fall Out Boy doing a Joy Division cover.

The Killers will probably do a good job with this, considering that a main influence of theirs is stuff like Joy Division.

There's a whole album of Joy Division covers by unkown British bands, I'd suggest you get it. Some gold tracks on there.
