Trent Reznor: Last News

The Cure drummer Lol Tolhurst has spoken to NME about exploring the origins of goth for his new book, how his former band were part of the genre all along, and how the likes of David Bowie, Joy Division and Nine Inch Nails shaped the scene.In his far-reaching new book, Goth: A History, Tolhurst explores the music, literature and art that shaped the genre, as well as the band he co-founded with Robert Smith in 1977. “Despite our passionate insistence that The Cure was not a goth group,” Tolhurst writes in the book, “The Cure was very much a goth group.”Speaking to NME from his home in LA, the musician laughed off The Cure’s insistence not to be termed a goth band.

It surprised no one earlier this year when Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross officially came on board to score David Fincher‘s “The Killer.” After all, the pair have scored all of Fincher’s films since 2010’s “The Social Network.” But it surprised audiences at the movie’s world premiere in Venice last weekend when Reznor & Ross’ work didn’t feature prominently in “The Killer” at all.

David Fincher has explained why he chose to include tracks by The Smiths on the soundtrack for his upcoming film The Killer.Michael Fassbender stars as a troubled assassin in the upcoming thriller, which is based on the French graphic novel by Alexis Nolent. It was adapted by screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker, who previously worked with Fincher on Seven.While the film’s score is composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Fincher explained at the Venice Film Festival how The Smiths also came to feature heavily on the soundtrack.“The Smiths were a post-production addition because I knew I wanted to use ‘How Soon Is Now?’ and I love the idea of that song specifically as a tool for assuaging his anxiety,” Fincher said (via IndieWire).

Robbie Williams has said he wants to recruit Radiohead for a cover of ‘It’s Raining Men’.The former Take That singer is keen to get Thom Yorke and co. to do the backing track for his own version of the 1983 Weather Girls hit.He says he is yet to hear back from the band about the cover and may ask Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor instead.He told The Sun‘s Bizarre column: “I want to do a cover of ‘It’s Raining Men’ but I want Radiohead to do a backing track for me.“But they have not got back to me.

Challengers,” starring Zendaya, which had been set as the Venice Film Festival opener, has been pulled from the festival due to promotional complications prompted by the SAG-AFTRA strike. Venice has announced that the sexy sports comedy — in which Zendaya plays a former tennis prodigy turned coach entangled in a love triangle with two pro tennis players, played by Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist — has changed its distribution strategy. The film’s promotion has been disrupted by the current actors strike, which prohibits SAG-AFTRA union members from doing any type of promotional activity. This means Zendaya, O’Connor and Faist would not have been able to launch the film on Aug. 30 on the Venice red carpet.

The Venice Film Festival will open with the world premiere of Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers.

Charna Flam Could Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming film be a “love” story for the ages?

Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor says he is not interested in touring again in the future.Speaking to Rick Rubin for the Tetragrammaton podcast, Reznor discussed a wide range of topics including being on the road.“I don’t want to be away from my kids,” he said of his reluctance to tour again. “I don’t want to miss their lives to go do a thing that I’m grateful to be able to do, and I’m appreciative that you’re here to see it, but I’ve done it a lot, you know?”He added: “I kind of want to feel okay and I want to make sure my family’s okay, and that’s great.

Trent Reznor has shared that he teared up while listening to a Dua Lipa song, claiming it to be a “really well-done piece of music”.Appearing on Rick Rubin’s podcast, Tetragrammaton, the Nine Inch Nails frontman spoke about his struggles with songwriting, sharing: “To me, the hardest thing is the songwriting. Having something to say, something to say with truth, that has reason to exist rather than just a thing.”He also spoke about his newfound appreciation for pop music, which he attributes to his children, explaining that he’d kept his kids sealed away from pop music because he had felt it “sucks generally”. It wasn’t until he heard his daughter singing a Dua Lipa song that he changed his mind.“I heard my daughter, who’s six, singing Dua Lipa the other day,” he recounted.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music Halsey has signed with Columbia Records, Variety has confirmed. The move comes just two months after the singer parted ways with her longtime label, Capitol Music Group. The move actually reunites Halsey, who uses she/they pronouns, with the label behind one of the two biggest hits of their career: “Closer,” the Chainsmokers song featuring her on co-lead vocals, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for some 12 weeks in 2016. Halsey also reached No. 1 in 2018 with “Without You.” Halsey first signed with Capitol’s Astralwerks imprint in 2013 and quickly became one of the company’s hottest acts. Yet their fierce independent streak — she often tells a story about a label exec saying she wasn’t ready to make an album, so she asked her fans via Twitter whether they wanted one, to rapturous response — often put them at odds with it.

While it’s been a little while since the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” franchise has found success on the big screen, it appears, at least at first glance, that the new animated film, ‘Mutant Mayhem,’ could be the reboot that the Turtles need. The film is very clearly borrowing a bit of the style of “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” and is using it to reinvent ‘TMNT’ for a new audience.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross will provide the original score for the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, as revealed by skateboarding legend Tony Hawk.The collaborative duo – who also perform together as Nine Inch Nails – recently scored the Pixar movie Soul, making the upcoming Turtles project their second children’s film for the 2020s. The movie, titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, is set for release on August 3.Hawk revealed the news in a recent episode of his podcast Hawk vs Wolf (which he co-hosts with Jason Ellis), where he spoke about his recent cover of Nine Inch Nails’ ‘Wish’ (which features Reznor and Ross as well as members of The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Bronx, Every Time I Die and more).The news was confirmed by director Jeff Rowe, who tweeted: “Well now that my teenage hero [Tony Hawk] has leaked that my music heroes are doing this I can add that the score is absolutely AMAZING.

Jem Aswad Senior Music Editor Lewis Largent, who was known to millions in the 1980s and ‘90s as an influential alternative-music MTV VJ and DJ on KROQ, died on Feb. 20 after a long illness, his family confirms to Variety. He was 58. A native of Southern California, Largent was an enthusiastic golfer as a teen, and he met the general manager of the Los Angeles alternative-radio powerhouse KROQ while working at a country club. Impressed with Largent’s knowledge of music, the GM offered him an internship at the station that led to a full-time role in 1985. He rose quickly through the ranks and was named music director in 1989. In 1992, Largent left the station to take a VP of music programming post at MTV, where he soon began hosting “120 Minutes.” That show, a 1990s Sunday-night tradition on the channel, expanded the genre’s reach nationwide — and Largent’s. (This writer can recall a certain major label president striving to impress executives in a meeting with his ability to get Largent to take his call.) David Bowie, Bjork, Trent Reznor, Radiohead and PJ Harvey were among the many artists he hosted on “120 Minutes.”
