Movies - Trent Reznor's "Year Zero" Film

According to The Herald Sun, Trent Reznor of the band Nine Inch Nails is looking to turn his latest album "Year Zero" into a film.

"Some interesting things have come up in terms of turning this into another format of entertainment, like a television show or a movie," said Reznor. "I've had some meetings with A-list people I'm interested in possibly working with."

A-list people could mean anyone, but looking at his past relationships, one can see that he has worked with some talented folks. Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo) shot his famous "Closer" video and David Fincher (Fight Club) did the video for "Only."

While just a rumor, I think this could be a great step for Trent Reznor. "Year Zero" is a concept album and covers some really deep issues and themes; I could see it being turned into a film and I would definitely be interested in seeing it.

Music - Trent Reznor: "No wonder people steal music."

The NIN frontman blogs:

"As the climate grows more and more desperate for record labels, their answer to their mostly self-inflicted wounds seems to be to screw the consumer over even more. A couple of examples that quickly come to mind:

* The ABSURD retail pricing of Year Zero in Australia. Shame on you, UMG. Year Zero is selling for $34.99 Australian dollars ($29.10 US). No wonder people steal music. Avril Lavigne's record in the same store was $21.99 ($18.21 US).
By the way, when I asked a label rep about this his response was: "It's because we know you have a real core audience that will pay whatever it costs when you put something out - you know, true fans. It's the pop stuff we have to discount to get people to buy."
So... I guess as a reward for being a "true fan" you get ripped off.

* The dreaded EURO Maxi-single. Nothing but a consumer rip-off that I've been talked into my whole career. No more.

The point is, I am trying my best to make sure the music and items NIN puts in the marketplace have value, substance and are worth you considering purchasing. I am not allowing Capital G to be repackaged into several configurations that result in you getting ripped off.

We are planning a full-length remix collection of substance that will be announced soon."

Thank God for Trent Reznor, one of the greatest music artists of our generation, stepping up and saying what should be said.
