Trent Reznor scores David Fincher movie about Facebook
A movie called The Social Network is being directed by David Fincher. The same guy that directed Fight Club is now making a movie about Facebook. Seems kinda lame but, yet again, a soundtrack is coming to the rescue.
NIN frontman Trent Reznor recently revealed that he will be scoring the entire film along with How To Destroy Angels partner Atticus Ross (via CoS). He posted the following message that explains why he decided to get involved with a film that has made “Like” buttons the new way to describe whether something works or not:
I was planning on taking some time off after the continual waves of touring that ended last fall and spend this year experimenting around with what would become How To Destroy Angels and some new NIN. Well, that plan didn’t work out so well. David Fincher started inquiring about my interest in scoring his upcoming film, The Social Network. Yeah, the movie about the founding of Facebook. I’ve always loved David’s work but quite honestly I wondered what would draw him to tell that story. When I actually read the script and realized what he was up to, I said goodbye to that free time I had planned. Atticus Ross and I have been on a creative roll so I asked him if he wanted to work on this with me and we signed on.
Reznor also said that they are “nearing the completion of this” project and that the soundtrack will be out a couple weeks before the film’s release which will be October 1st. Check out the trailer down below and don’t worry if you’re skeptical about how good a movie about Facebook could possibly be. If you need reassurance, Reznor says that “it’s really fucking good…and dark!”

Pretty frickin cool man. Trent and Atticus’ dark synth style will be good for something like this. I just hope the story is pretty good.
