"Dragon Tattoo" movie gets 'Nine Inch Nails'

Just in time for awards season, we learn that Nine Inch Nails front man Trent Reznor has been tapped to compose the music for "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," the upcoming Hollywood adaptation of the first in Stieg Larsson's best-selling thriller series. This comes on the heels of his Golden Globe nomination for the score for the Facebook movie, "The Social Network.  


The project will reunite the rocker with not only "Social network" director David Fincher, but with his longtime songwriting partner, Atticus Ross. Speaking with the New York Times, Reznor said that the arrangements for this film would be more string-based than those for Social Network. 

"We started recording things in a different way that was all based on performance -- nothing programmed," says Reznor, who has completed two hours' worth of music over the past month with Ross. "That would be my limited skills with stringed instruments... We'd process them in a way that really gave it an interesting, organic feel that felt like something we've never done before."

The US production of "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" is scheduled to open Christmas of 2011.
