Nine Inch Nails album for HBO series

2010-09-30 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 44 Comments
Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor is in talks with television networks HBO and BBC Worldwide with a view to adapting the group's 2007 album Year Zero into a full-length drama series.

"It's exciting," Reznor said in an interview with the LA Times. "I understand that there's a thousand hurdles before anything shows up in your TV listing [but] ... it's very much alive and incubating at the moment."

Year Zero depicted a bleak vision of a future in which nuclear war between the United States and Iran had given rise to a new puritanical political class, the Bureau of Morality. It was accompanied at the time by a video game.

Reznor was, along with collaborator Atticus Ross, behind the score for the 2010 motion picture The Social Network, the soundtrack for which was released on September 28.

Interesting.

Even though nothing compares to The Fragile and The Downward Spiral, he's still made a lot of really good music since those albums.

LOL wasn't Reznor the name of those dino-bosses from Super Mario World?

Reznors are a quartet of fire-breathing dinosaurs on spinning platforms in Super Mario World. According to the instruction manual, they were cursed by Bowser. They spit fireballs at the player, who must hit their platforms from the bottom to defeat them. After two Reznors are knocked off their platforms, the floor will break away, exposing the molten lava below. If the player does not defeat the rest of the Reznors promptly, he/she will have to jump onto one of the abandoned platforms and fight from there. It is, however, possible to defeat all four without doing so.

They are the bosses of the many fortresses scattered through the areas of Dinosaur Land; the Vanilla Fortress, the Forest Fortress, the Chocolate Fortress, and the Valley Fortress.

I hated Year Zero at first but it really grew on me. This TV show thing, though, I don't know what to expect. I didn't follow the ARG thing and I don't really want to, I'm just in it for the music. We'll see how this goes though

Loved Year Zero but I have no clue how that album will translate into an HBO Series.

Year Zero is the album that got me into music and is still one of my favorites so I'm slightly intrigued by this but at the same time it seems like this could be either really good or really bad. Although, I've read that the people working on this have done some great shows for HBO so it has that going for it.

Sounds awesome. I was wondering what was going on with the Year Zero show project. Glad to hear it's getting made now.

And Year Zero's ARG was awesome. I remember being amazed when the disc came out white after my first listen. And the album is even more amazing live.
