Trent Reznor: Coming To A TV Screen Near You

NME reports: *Nine Inch Nails are reportedly getting ready to turn their album 'Year Zero' in a television programme. The futuristic show is said to centre around a time when the US is ruled by a right wing, religious dictatorship, reflecting the record's themes.

Trent Reznor said: "We've got a producer on board and have met with writers. We're about to pitch it to the network, so we're a couple of weeks away from meeting all of the main people, and we'll see what happens." According to Blabbermouth, Reznor said he was also interested in turning the project into a film.*

Trent Reznor Hates The Cameras

Guess we won't be seeing Trent on the cover of Us Weekly anytime soon. That is, unless he starts dating Lily Allen. Ha! ContactMusic reports on the latest quote from Mr. NIN himself.

"Life in front of the cameras has no appeal to me whatsoever. I can understand that if your career is one that relies on that, if you're an actor, or a type of actor I should say, or a type of 'musician' that ego needs to be fuelled by thinking that that's the way they want to portray themselves. But I have no personal interest in that. It plays into everything that's wrong with music and art right now."

Nine Inch Nails' latest opus, Year Zero, will be available to purchase next week, internationally.

NIN Go T&A

Confused? Let me explain. We just got our hands on Nine Inch Nails' new clip for 'Survivalism', the first single from Trent and the boys' new album, Year Zero. Musically, the track could have easily fit on their last LP, Without Teeth, which I surprisingly, truly adored. Thumbs up on that end.

As for the video itself, to 'Survivalism'... well, the clip is a voyeur's wet dream. The video serves as a recording of Trent's neighbors and the activities that go on inside their apartments. While Trent is rocking out with the the rest of the Nails in his respective flat, other apartments in the complex feature ample boobage, creepy vacancies (a la The Ring) and a wild round of gay sex. This clip is definitely NSFW! I repeat, NOT SAFE FOR WORK. However, enjoy (if you can)!

Trent Reznor's Riding Win Butler's Coattails

Hmm, seems like Trent and his fellow Nails have been strongly influenced by The Arcade Fire's recent media blitz to get the word out about Neon Bible. Product Shop is reporting that there are not one, but various 'secret' websites out there, all giving little snippets of info about Nine Inch Nails upcoming release, Year Zero.

If you recall, before you downloaded the leaked version of Neon Bible, Arcade Fire set up NeonBible.com complete with song lyrics, live videos, a flashing neon bible (har har) and various other tomfoolery.

Not only that, but Trent has set up a HOTLINE (sound familiar?) giving scattered album info, song samples and generally creating a buzz around the project. For those curious, the # is 310-295-1040. Dial away!

Want to hear some of the new NIN tracks? I suggest you pay a visit to The Hype Machine ASAP, as a few songs from Year Zero have already found their way to the web. Year Zero will be out in the US on April 17th. Neon Bible's official release is on March 6th.

Ladytron To Open For NIN?!

Strange pairing if you ask me, but hey, could be fun. Only valid in the UK!

Now would be a good time to let you know that Nine Inch Nails' new LP, Year Zero will see the light of day this spring.

As usual, Trent Reznor has given us very few clues as to what to expect. With all the random collaborations lately, I wouldn't put it past him to duet with Dolly on this one!

All dates on Ladytron's MySpace page.
