TRENT REZNOR To Play Vampire In Upcoming Film

March 4, 2011

The Pulse Of Radio reports that NINE INCH NAILS mainman Trent Reznor, fresh off winning an Oscar for the score to "The Social Network", has lined up another film job — and this time he'll be acting as well as writing music. According to Badass Digest, Reznor will write the music for the upcoming film "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter", and will also play the role of a vampire who kills Lincoln's mother. The movie is based on a so-called "mash-up" novel by Seth Grahame Smith, in which the secret history of Lincoln's lifelong battle against vampires is revealed.

The film will be directed by Timur Bekmambetov, who also directed "Wanted" with Angelina Jolie.

Reznor and collaborator Atticus Ross, who worked with him on "The Social Network" score, are also writing the music for "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo", due out in December from "The Social Network" director David Fincher.

Reznor, Ross and Reznor's wife Mariqueen Maandig are also readying a new project from their band HOW TO DESTROY ANGELS.
