‘Score’ Trailer Reveals Documentary about Film Music and Composers

The first trailer for the Gravitas Ventures film Score: A Film Music Documentary has landed online, and this thing looks like a must-watch for cinephiles. Directed by Matt Schrader, a former newsman for CBS, and two years in the making, the film offers a look at the art and impact of film composers, featuring interviews with everyone from John Williams to Trent Reznor to Hans Zimmer to Bear McCreary. This promises an inside look at how film scores get composed, how they’ve evolved over the decades, and where the medium is at right now.

Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor Debuts New Song “Green Lines”

Nine Inch Nails members Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are ‘performing’ nightly at Bansky’s Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem, Palestine. Their new song “Green Lines” was written for its player piano.

Nine Inch Nails, along with film composer Hans Zimmer, are performing pre-recorded gigs in the piano bar of Banksy’s Walled Off Hotel in Bethlehem.

The hotel’s website states, “Britain got its hands on Palestine in 1917 and the piano bar is themed as a colonial outpost from those heady days. It is equipped with languid ceiling fans, leather bound couches and an air of undeserved authority. Guests can peruse a collection of Banksy artworks that include vandalised oil paintings and statues choking on tear gas fumes. Warm scones and freshly brewed tea are served daily on fine bone china and the Walled Off Salad should not be missed.”

It later says, “And through it all the piano plays – by itself. Our remote controlled mechanical baby grand has been programmed with a bespoke score of contemporary arrangements, plus every night it will play back a concert recorded exclusively for the hotel. We start our residency programme with 3D who presents the greatest hits of Massive Attack played with three hands. Concerts start every night from 9pm. Upcoming artists include Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, Flea and Hans Zimmer.”

Nine Inch Nails will have a new EP out this summer, with another to follow according to Trent Reznor

You never really know when a band like Nine Inch Nails might surprise you with an announcement, but when they do, people get excited. And there's plenty to be excited about, as Trent Reznor has broken the news that not one, but two new EP's will be coming in less than a year's time.

The first will be coming quite soon, as Reznor stated that it will arrive before the band's summer festival appearances, which begin on July 23. This means a new Nine Inch Nails EP should arrive sometime in the next six weeks or so.

Reznor also revealed that the band's most recent release, Not The Actual Events, was the first in a triology of EPs, meaning that a third EP will also be coming. According to his time estimation, it will arrive "6-8 months apart" from the one that'll be coming in the next few weeks. The announcement came in the form of an email in which Reznor was apologizing to fans who had ordered vinyl from the band, as the production and shipping of orders have been delayed due to some manufactuting changes.

You can read the conclusion of the email sent to customers below in which Reznor offers the news to brighten up the fans. And knowing there's new NIN on the way is definitely welcome news to any fan of the band!

Not The Actual Events was released on back on December 23, and Nine Inch Nails will be appearing at three major festivals in the coming months, which you can see below.

"FINALLY, DID YOU KNOW THERE’S A NEW TOP-SECRET NINE INCH NAILS EP THAT WILL BE RELEASED BEFORE THE FIRST SHOWS WE DO THIS SUMMER? DID YOU KNOW NOT THE ACTUAL EVENTS WAS THE FIRST PART OF A TRILOGY OF RELATED EPS THAT WILL BE RELEASED ABOUT 6-8 MONTHS APART? NOW YOU DO. MORE INFORMATION ON THIS SHORTLY…

THANK YOU. TRENT”
