NEWS – Trent Reznor Will Not be Scoring Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Since his Academy Award-winning work on The Social Network, Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor has become an in-demand composer for a variety of high profile motion picture scores. Whilst set to reunite with filmmaker David Fincher for the Hollwood remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Reznor was also attached as both composer and actor to an adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith’s novel Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter (who had also written the bizarre Pride and Prejudice and Zombies), first published last year.

But in a statement on his official forum, Reznor has stated; “Don’t believe everything you read. As it turns out, I WON’T be working on (acting or scoring) ALVH after all. There’s no juicy story here, it’s just that when the news mysteriously leaked out about my involvement I hadn’t made up my mind completely, because various aspects of the project were changing. I felt the need to say something earlier this week because my inbox was filling up with speculation, and at that moment I thought I would be doing it. Confused yet? Apparently I am.
Bottom line, I wish them the best with the film and I’m sure it will still be great.

Also, in all the excitement of the last note I forgot to mention we’re still fully engaged with the Year Zero mini-series, writing away.”
