Reznor, HBO and BBC Worldwide are producing a sci-fi series based on his ‘Year Zero’ concept.
The ‘Year Zero’ concept obviously began with his 2007 album of the same name, and has since extended to the Alternate Reality Game.
Now Reznor has teamed up with producers Lawrence Bender (Inglourious Bastards, An Inconvenient Truth) and Kevin Kelly Brown (Roswell), as well as HBO and BBC Worldwide to make his vision a reality.
Reznor 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.”
He said that Carnivale writer Daniel Knauf is currently working on the script and concept, but reminds his fans that television development “works at a glacial pace”.
