Trent Reznor Takes His ‘Year Zero’ Concept To HBO
LA TIMES — Trent Reznor says HBO and BBC Worldwide Productions are moving forward with the development of “Year Zero,†the grim sci-fi epic that Reznor has chronicled in his music as well as in a celebrated Alternate Reality Game (ARG).
“We are in [the development phase of] pre-production with HBO and BBC [Worldwide Productions] to do a miniseries,†Reznor said Monday. “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.â€
Reznor is working with the team of Lawrence Bender, best known for producing Quentin Tarantino films such as “Pulp Fiction,†“Inglourious Basterds†and â€Reservoir Dogs“ as well as the documentaries “An Inconvenient Truth†and “Countdown to Zero,†and Kevin Kelly Brown, who was executive producer on “Roswell.“
