Trent Reznor says HBO and BBC America 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 pre-production with HBO and BBC America to do a miniseries, Reznor said Monday. Its exciting. I probably shouldnt say too much about it except that I understand that theres a thousand hurdles before anything shows up in your TV listing. Its been an interesting and very educational process and it cleared the HBO hurdle a few months ago and now were writing drafts back and forth. So its very much alive and incubating at the moment.
Reznor is working with the team of Lawrence Bender, best known for producing Quentin Tarantino films such as Pulp Fiction, Inglourious Basterds and Reservoir Dogs as well as the documentaries An Inconvenient Truth and Countdown to Zero, and Kevin Kelly Brown, who was executive producer on Roswell.
BBC America was the first to show interest and came on as the studio, Reznor explained. Our writer is Daniel Knauf from Carnivàle and hes busy with pages right now and revising the overall world Bible. Its been an interesting collaborative effort but Ive learned that [television development] moves at a glacial pace.
Year Zero began (as so many things do in the music of Nine Inch Nails) from a place of wrenching emotion and sonic adventure. Reznor found himself increasingly outraged by the geopolitical situation during the Bush years and he wanted to express the fury in music, but he found himself bored by traditional approaches to protest music. To read more about Year Zero, read our 2008 interview with the rock auteur.

Básicamente dice que la HBO y Reznor están trabajando en una miniserie de ciencia ficción llamada Year Zero, que continúa con el concepto del disco. Está trabajando con productores que normalmente trabajan con Tarantino, y el guionista/escritor de la serie es un tal Daniel Knauf que ha trabajado en Carnivale. Dicen que las cosas van muy lentas, y que todavía habrá que esperar bastante hasta que se pueda ver algo en televisión, que todavía están escribiendo borradores.
