Trent Reznor picked up an Oscar for his terrific score to The Social Network and he’s set to score David Fincher’s follow-up, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. So what comes after an Oscar and providing the music to an adaptation of a best-selling novel? Apparently for Mr. Reznor, it’s doing the music and co-starring in a 3D vampire movie.
Badass Digest reports that Reznor will not only provide the score for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, he’ll also play the bloodsucker that offs Lincoln’s mother and sets the 16th president on his path of vampire destruction. The film is based off the novel by Seth Grahame-Smith, who previously wrote the mash-up Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Hit the jump for a synopsis of Grahame-Smith’s novel. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter stars Benjamin Walker, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Anthony Mackie, and Dominic Cooper. It opens in 3D on June 22, 2012.
-Joey's Two Cents: I'm a big fan of his score for The Social Network, so this is very cool news to me...thoughts?
Should be a fun project...
