The Killers have confirmed their cover of the 1979 Joy Division track “Shadowplay” for the soundtrack to Control, a biopic detailing Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis’ tumultuous life, NME.com reports. The film, based on the book Touching From A Distance, written by Control co-producer and Curtis’ widow Deborah, will be directed by renowned photographer and video director Anton Corbijn.
