Reznor Year Zero TV series plans moving forward

By | Published on Thursday 30 September 2010

Trent Reznor has long wanted to make his 2007 ‘Year Zero’ concept album into a TV series, and now through a partnership with HBO and BBC Worldwide that might just happen, though he himself admits the project is still in its early days.

Confirming the HBO partnership, Reznor has told the LA Times: “It’s exciting. I probably shouldn’t say too much about it except that I understand that there’s a thousand hurdles before anything shows up in your TV listing. It’s been an interesting and very educational process and it cleared the HBO hurdle a few months ago and now we’re writing drafts back and forth. So, it’s very much alive and incubating at the moment”.

It was originally rumoured that Reznor planned to work with director Quentin Tarantino and producer Lawrence Bender on the project. Bender is involved in the HBO production, though there’s no mention of Tarantino here. Daniel Knauf, writer of HBO series ‘Carnivàle’, is currently working on a first draft script.
