Much has been made of Jay-z’s involvement with Baz Lurhmann’s epic adaptation of The Great Gatsby. The music mogul has never before lent his name or his talents to a project in this way before (we’re not counting his “inspired by” American Gangster album). Despite the hype, this soundtrack collaboration is fundamentally safe (if seemingly off to a fast start on the charts.). Not only is The Great Gatsby a tent-pole blockbuster with an above-the-title director and major A-list talent, it’s a grandiose celebration of New York jazz age glamour and excess — which in some ways, »

David Fincher, an amazingly intuitive director, hired Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to score the masterpiece that is The Social Network, and in doing so created a film that used music to compliment sound in a way that very few movies do nowadays. The union of music and sound in this movie is hauntingly dark and psychoanalytical, acting like the brainwaves channeling throughout the film, transporting us, the viewers, into the minds of secretly disturbed individuals stuck on a social trip through heaven and hell. The effects of sound and music is an aspect of film so integrated into our minds and our society that it is easy for us as a culture raised on movies to take them for granted. When The Social Network was first released one of the most notable elements of the film was its score, which revealed the rawness and the audacity of its approach »

Bill Pohlad‘s Love & Mercy is looking to start filming this summer, and it looks like they’ve got the biggest pieces of the puzzle all set. According to The Wrap, John Cusack is in talks to join the production, playing Beach Boy Brian Wilson in his mid-life years while Paul Dano plays the younger version of the iconic musician. With a script from Oren Moverman (The Messenger), the movie seeks to chronicle Wilson’s life from his 1960s success, through his public breakdown to his modern reemergence. And, really, he makes for a fascinating subject with a hell of a soundtrack on his hip, but the names behind Love & Mercy build up a lot of excitement. Pohlad was a producer on Into the Wild, The Tree of Life and The Runaways; Moverman has shown incredible emotional nuance in his scripts; Atticus Ross (The Social Network) is scoring the film; John Wells is also producing; and Wilson »

John Cusack is eyeing the role of Brian Wilson in Love & Mercy.
The High Fidelity star is in talks to play the Beach Boys musician in Bill Pohlad and ER producer John Wells's indie movie, according to The Wrap.
Love & Mercy will examine Wilson's career, creativity and the impact of his fame on his mental health. Paul Dano is already attached to play a younger version of Wilson.
Oren Moverman, who was behind the Bob Dylan-inspired movie I'm Not There, has written the screenplay for Love & Mercy. The film will reportedly reimagine key events in Wilson's life.
In addition to his responsibilities as co-producer, 2012 Oscar nominee Pohlad will direct the feature.
Atticus Ross, who collaborated with Trent Reznor on The Social Network, has been hired to work on the movie's soundtrack and overall sound design.

In 2012, Gillian Flynn struck gold with her third novel Gone Girl, another in a growing line of unique mysteries with Dark Places and Sharp Objects preceding. Why did Gone Girl really spike her name up to the top? The story is full of so many twists and questionable facades that it really acts as a successful revision on genre mystery novels. That, or does the cover look similar enough to Fifty Shades of Grey that people have just kind of mentally connected the two?
While I have to admit the latter is somewhat true, it is the book itself that strongly merits critical favor. Flynn’s sense of perspective is impeccable, shifting back and forth from different narrators with extreme tonal changes. Gone Girl picks up the day of Amy Elliott Dunne’s disappearance from her home in Carthage, Missouri. Her husband Nick is trying to piece together what may have happened, »

Just last month, we were excited to learn that industrial rock icon Trent Reznor will be re-assembling his legendary band Nine Inch Nails with an all-new lineup and a tour kicking off this summer. But that's not the only Trent event this year: this week, the experimental band How to Destroy Angels – a project Reznor founded with his wife Mariqueen Maandig, his fellow Golden Globe-winning composer Atticus Ross, and acclaimed visual artist Rob Sheridan – finally released their long-awaited full length album debut. After teasing us for two years with singles, EPs (the first self-titled release in 2010, followed by An Omen last fall) and some beautifully spooky music videos, they've made good on the ominous promise of those earlier experiments with a truly monolithic record that is equal parts ambient experimentation (in the vein of Nin's epic 1999 album The Fragile or their instrumental collection Ghosts I-iv) and dark, sultry electro-pop.

“I’ve been thinking for some time now it’s time to make Nin disappear for a while.”
So went Trent Reznor’s musings in early 2009 that announced the indefinite hiatus of Nine Inch Nails. Now, as music fans know ‘indefinite’ is often a lot more definite than most artists are wishing to let on – or admit to. So, with that announcement in mind a general feeling that this was not a hiatus but in fact the end fell upon most Nine Inch Nails fans, and was the general consensus of the music press and the music scene.
As Reznor went onto clarify, he would still be creating music but branching out beyond the Nine Inch Nails moniker, and whilst he was saying he’d never say never to producing music as Nine Inch Nails he saw no future for the band as a live entity for the foreseeable future. »

Trent Reznor has always maintained that Nine Inch Nails was never over, just that he had some other interests. Now, we'll hear what the frontman has in mind for his long-lasting industrial/rock project, as they hit the road this summer in a new configuration. "Nine Inch Nails are touring this year," reads a statement from Reznor, unleashed this morning. His other band How to destroy angels_ with wife Mariqueen Maandig and collaborator Atticus Ross is still going forward with their "Welcome Oblivion" album release next week and spring tour dates, but Reznor will shape-shift for Nin this summer on the road. »

Trent Reznor’s newish group How To Destroy Angels has announced a string of upcoming tour dates, including a stop at New York’s Apollo Theater (where it will hopefully get to rub the Tree Of Hope).

A list of confirmed dates is below. How To Destroy Angels 2013 tour dates: April 12—Coachella—Indio, California April 13—Pearl Theatre—Las Vegas, Nevada April »

If you wanted awards coverage, this past weekend was a goldmine. Not only were the BAFTAs handed out, so too were the Asc awards. And last night, there was this little thing called Grammys. Yes, the annual celebration of all things in mainstream music was celebrated, but in among the winners were a few items of note to movie fans. The eligibility window for the music awards are a bit wonky, so while all these movies are more than a year old, they're only picking up honors now. After bagging an Oscar for their work on "The Social Network," Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross took a Grammy for their equally compelling work on "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo." The pulsating, coldly creeping score is a winner, so we have no problem with that. Nor do we see anything wrong with the lively songs for "Midnight In Paris" winning Best Soundtrack Compilation. »

How To Destroy Angels, the musical collective featuring Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor, Reznor’s wife and vocalist Mariqueen Maandig, art director Rob Sheridan and Atticus Ross (Reznor’s co-composer on The Social Network and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo), have premiered a new short film music video for “How Long” a track off of their upcoming debut full length, Welcome Oblivion (they had previously released a very solid self titled Ep back in 2010).
The video was directed by Shynola, (a london-based group known for doing videos for Radiohead, U.N.K.L.E, and the title sequence for Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. ) and features a dystopian-like future in which men hunt each other.

We've been looking forward to more output from How To Destroy Angels, the dark electronic band formed by Nine Inch Nails founder Trent Reznor, his wife and vocalist Mariqueen Maandig, art director Rob Sheridan and Trent's fellow Golden Globe-winning composer Atticus Ross. The band's first video “The Space In Between” made our list for 2010's creepiest music video, their Ep An Omen made last year's Top Albums list, and today it looks like they're gunning for a spot on our 2013 list with their latest effort. “How Long?” a new single from the band's long-delayed but much anticipated full-length album Welcome Oblivion, is accompanied by a visual scenario that's even darker than the double murder depicted in their debut clip. Directed by the London-based visual arts collective Shynola, the film depicts a glowing-eyed wanderer fighting a life-or-death struggle in a dystopian future. The creative team worked with the band on fleshing »

Composer Atticus Ross is sharing his musical inspiration behind the soundtrack for “Broken City.” Best known for his and Trent Reznor’s Oscar-winning score for “The Social Network” and his masterful work on “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and “The Book of Eli,” Ross has curated a music playlist exclusively for Rdio. This heart-pounding soundtrack draws inspiration from ‘80s glam rock, industrial new wave, and other beloved scores.

While we didn't think much of the actual movie, one reason soundtrack and score fans might want to check out "Broken City" is that it boasts brand new music from Atticus Ross, alongside past collaborators Claudia Sarne and Leopold Ross. The Oscar winner behind "The Social Network" score, which he co-wrote with Trent Reznor, has been steadily getting more cinema work, contributing to the team of talented musicians on the Mexican drama "Days Of Grace," and reteaming with Reznor on "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo." But this time around, he's giving folks a bit of a peek into his creative process. The composer/musician has curated a music playlist exclusively for Rdio that delves into this inspirations, and it's pretty solid stuff. Mostly looking back to the past, the mixtape of sorts is bookended by David Bowie, features cuts from Tangerine Dream and Giorgio Moroder and their work for »
