( 6 stories between 17th June 2009 and 9th March 2011 )Trent Reznor Declares Nine Inch Nails Undead
Mar, 9 2011
On the heels of winning a Golden Globe and an Oscar for his work on The Social Network score with writing partner Atticus Ross, Trent Reznor has announced that the project that hurled him into consciousness in 1988, Nine Inch Nails "is not dead.”
On the NIN forum, Reznor Monday posted that despite working on the soundtrack for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and pushing [new band with Ross and Reznor’s wife Mariqueen Maandig] the How to Destroy Angels’first full-length album for a fall release, NIN is still in his orbit.
"The three columns of things I'm currently funneling music into – How to Destroy Angels, NIN and film work – I believe will start to make more sense to you (and me) as everything unfolds," he wrote. "By having a few different outlets for my work I'm finding more inspiration within each one. No, Nine Inch Nails is not dead and I plan to focus on that next."
Reznor all but retired the band in 2009 after a co-headlining tour with Jane’s Addiction. Having witnessed the frisson and power that was NIN on that tour, I couldn’t understand why Reznor would walk away, so it comes as a great relief that perhaps he hasn’t.
Reznor is also working is the Tim Bekmambetov / Tim Burton collaboration Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, for which Reznor is working on the film score and perhaps appearing in a cameo role.

Golden Globe Winner Trent Reznor Scores Again
Jan, 17 2011
Trent Reznor, Nine Inch Nails frontman, is hoping to duplicate the success of his recent film score attempt, having been tapped to compose the music for David Fincher's English language adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
The film will be based on Stieg Larsson's best-selling book of the same name. It’s the first in a worldwide smash trilogy about misunderstood social deviant, Lisbeth Salander. Reznor and longtime songwriting partner Atticus Ross won a Golden Globe for their efforts adding sound to the story of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s rise to social media dominance in The Social Network. Reznor and Ross will reunite for "Dragon Tattoo."
During an interview with the New York Times, Reznor revealed that the "Dragon Tattoo" score would rely more on string arrangements than the electronica soundscapes of "Social Network." "We started recording things in a different way that was all based on performance -- nothing programed," says Reznor. "We'd process [stringed instruments] in a way that really gave it an interesting, organic feel that felt like something we've never done before." Fincher's adaptation of "Dragon Tattoo" is set to hit theaters Christmas 2011.
