Year Zero, Trent Reznor's dystopian musical vision of a fascist state, is taking shape as an HBO miniseries.
Reznor is working with Quentin Tarantino's producer Lawrence Bender on the show, according to Hero Complex. "I understand that there's a thousand hurdles before anything shows up in your TV listing," Reznor said. "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."
The television show, rooted in the musician's outrage over Bush administration excesses, would be an extension of the Year Zero alternate-reality game created three years ago to promote Nine Inch Nails' sixth studio album.
Producer Kevin Kelly Brown (Roswell) and writer Gerald Knauf (HBO's Carnivàle) are also working on the project, which is being co-developed by BBC Worldwide Productions.
