EuphoricMilk Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 HBO Considering Series Based on Trent Reznor’s Year Zero?Posted on Monday, August 11th, 2008 at 5:37 pm by: Hunter Stephenson The dystopian future imagined by Trent Reznor is synergy-friendly. Some have argued that it’s cliche. The savvy Nine Inch Nails frontman tells the LA Times that he recently met with HBO about adapting the themes of his Year One concept album (and cultish alternate reality game) into an ambitious sci-fi series… “I just pitched it to HBO two weeks ago in L.A. It went great. Ideally, we’re trying to get them to do a two-year limited series. I prefer that over a film. We would have a second ARG tying into the second album and ties into the series and they all happen together with a budget needed to pull that all off. There would be a tour down the road. The record completes the story, the ending that no one knows. I know what happens. I knew when I started it. And it’s not what people think. “ Reznor’s anti-Bush vision takes place in 2022, or as a totes-screwed America has labeled it, Year One. The government has brainwashed its citizens, done away with civil liberties and much of the landscape is in shambles. There’s also a lot of well-designed propaganda. The idea of a feature film or a TV show was conceptualized near the beginning according to Reznor, who says that writers are already attached. According to the NY Times, producer Lawrence Bender is seeing the series through. Source: /Film This could be epic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuphoricMilk Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 With Trent being the crazy perfectionist that he is I don't see how this one can get fucked up.. Plus HBO are a very reliable network. My expectations are high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
