This happening new band Joy Division is certainly on a roll lately. Not only do they have that big budget biopic Control lighting up screens across the festival circuit, but now they're the subject of yet another documentary, the succinctly titled Joy Division, set to premiere next month at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival.

With "Decades" burning up the elbo.ws charts and blasting out of convertible stereos far and wide, there's never been a better time to learn more about indie rock's latest sensation. And Joy Division should make for a fine introduction to this hotly-tipped new act.

Co-written and directed by Grant Gee (whom you may remember for his work with another scrappy group of up-and-comers, Radiohead), Joy Division features commentary from members of JD/New Order, Genesis P-Orridge (Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV), the late Tony Wilson, Factory Records graphic designer Peter Saville, and Ian Curtis mistress Annik Honoré. The film was co-written by the always entertaining Jon Savage.

Joy Division will premiere as part of the "Real to Reel" program at the Toronto fest, which runs from September 6-15.

Control, meanwhile, now appears set for an October 5 general theatrical release.

And as if that weren't enough, there's also significant chatter of late surrounding a set of expanded, remastered Joy Division reissues. While the info has not yet been confirmed, NME.com and several other outlets are reporting that Unknown Pleasures, Closer, and odds'n'ends collection Still will all receive the deluxe reissue treatment in the UK come September 10. Each will be bundled with a bonus disc, the presumed tracklists for which you may peruse below.

Finally, NME.com also reports that Joy Division will hit us with a brand spankin' new single called "Love Will Tear Us Apart" on September 24. I hear it's pretty good.
