Trent Reznor has revealed that he is developing a mini-series based on his Nine Inch Nails album, 'Year Zero'.

Reznor is working alongside HBO and BBC Worldwide on the project, which he said was in the development stage.

“It’s exciting. 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,” he told the Los Angeles Times.

“It’s been an interesting and very educational process and it cleared the HBO hurdle a few months ago and now we’re writing drafts back and forth.

“So it’s very much alive and incubating at the moment.”

'Year Zero', released in 2007, saw Reznor take aim at the policies of the US government through a futuristic concept.

Lawrence Bender, who produced Pulp Fiction and An Inconvenient Trust, is also working on mini-series.

Meanwhile, Reznor has also created the score for the forthcoming movie The Social Network, which is based on Facebook.
