Trent Reznor and HBO Developing Epic Sci-Fi Series YEAR ZERO

I can't wait.

I saw somewhere that this series is set for 2014? Confirm, debunk? I don't remember where I saw it, I think it may have been on Rob's twitter?

I think that was on the 'thisoneisonus' twitter page, they later deleted the post and said not to pay attention to that, it was just a misinformation/joke from ETS.

Oh, whew. I hope that means earlier

Why does all the good shows have to be on premuim channels!? TT_TT

I now have a reason to justify having HBO.

Yes, Trent Reznor has confirmed that it's in pre-production with BBC Studios and HBO, but it will take time. I doubt it will premier until 2012, but that's just my guess.

I AM THE GREAT DESTROYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I can't wait.

This looks awesome! Gonna have to buy the DVDs when they are released.

The story takes place in the United States in the year 2022, which has been termed “Year 0?, by the American government, being the year that America was reborn. The U.S. had suffered several major terrorist attacks, apparently by Islamic fundamentalists, including attacks on Los Angeles and Seattle. In response, the government granted itself emergency powers and seized absolute control on the country. The U.S. government is now a Christian fundamentalist theocracy, maintaining control of the populace through institutions like the Bureau of Morality and the First Evangelical Church of Plano. Americans must get licenses to marry, bear children, etc. Subversive activities can result in these licenses being revoked. Dissenters regularly disappear from their homes in the night, and are detained in federal detainment centers and sanitariums, if not executed.

The government corporation Cedocore distributes the drug Parepin through the water supply, making Americans who drink the water apathetic and carefree. There are several underground rebel groups, mainly operating online, most notably Art is Resistance and Solutions Backwards Initiative. The First Evangelical Church of Plano is a fundamentalist Protestant Christian church which is favored by the neo-conservative government.

Amidst all of this are increasing sightings of what is labelled “The Presence”, which manifests as a pair of massive ghostly hands and arms extending down from the sky into the ground. Despite early attributions of The Presence to drug-induced mass hysteria, it soon becomes clear that it is a physical phenomenon capable of being recorded on video and film. Theories vary on the real cause of the appearances, but the prevailing opinion appears to be that the hands represent God or some other equivalent supernatural force. On February 10, 2022, a government official named Doug reports that sightings of the phenomenon are rapidly being reported from all over the world. The sequence ends with a broken message announcing the appearance of The Presence over the United States Capitol Building. The message cuts off suddenly, implying the end of the world.

Working to prevent this are the Solutions Backwards Initiative, which is a group of students, professors, and computer experts who devise a successful means with which to send information back through time using quantum mechanics in order to prevent the dystopian future (and eventual apocalypse) they live in from ever occurring. The websites and music of the Year Zero alternate reality game are implied to be part of the information packets sent back through the wormholes.

2:50pm, EDTHBO gets closer to Trent Reznor's show
Dave Martin/AP

Trent Reznor is working with HBO to turn his "Year Zero" into a show.
Anna Chan writes: HBO is about to become my No. 1 network of all time. It's given me some of my favorite must-see shows: "Sex and the City," "Oz," "The Sopranos" and most recently, "True Blood" featuring the fabulous (and sometimes naked) Alexander Skarsgard. Now the premium network is reportedly moving forward to deliver "Year Zero," a sci-fi epic from Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor that bears the same title as his 2007 album.

(I'm trying to keep the fan girl in me from squealing and hitting the exclamation point about 1,000 times right now.)

"We are in [the development phase of] pre-production with HBO and BBC [Worldwide Productions] to do a miniseries," Reznor told the L.A Times' Hero Complex on Monday. He also revealed that "Carnivale's" Daniel Knauf is the writer.

"It's exciting," he said. "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."

Excuse me while I go blast some NIN as I wait for the day "Year Zero" premieres.

Read the full story from Hero Complex.


Just came accros this on Monday! Not sure if anyone else had seen it, but thought I should share.

TBOFE?

Knowing HBO, Trent will haven't financial constraints in implementing its project.

Anyone thinking Series activity?

That's Grant Morrison, a comic book writer...

It's possible Trent sought him out and pitched the Series to him?

erm... Grant Morrison is in this ...
