For Funsies: David Lynch/Nine Inch Nails Collab on Came Back Haunted Video

David Lynch and Trent Reznor are two of my favorite creative minds currently working out there. With the announcement that Reznor would be resurrecting his Nine Inch Nails project, I was ecstatic. The new songs so far have reminded me of Pretty Hate Machine-era NIN songs and I'm all about it. David Lynch has unfortunately been away from the camera for a while, but he has taken a break from recording his own album to shoot this video for the first single off the album Hesitation Marks, Come Back Haunted. check it out after the break.

Soundtrack Review: THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO Soundtrack

Javi here. As part of a way of bringing more (hopefully) interesting content apart from the movie trailers, reviews, and news, I'll be trying, to the best of my abilities, to write some soundtrack reviews. Talk to me, and you know I dig my music even if I don't like the music culture that has developed in the last year. Regardless, music scores are a point of contention among many music fans. I know that NPR All Songs Considered host, Bob Boilen, has called music scores cheesy and manipulative. He says that they cheapen the scene by playing strategically placed uplifting or somber strings. What it sounds like, to me, is that he heard a really cheesy low-brow score for some British Oscar-bait film.

I truly believe that there a good place for music to elevate a scene in a movie beyond  to make it memorable. There's a reason why the theme songs to so many older and iconic movies are now nothing more than pop culture cliches (I'm looking at you, 2001: SPACE ODYSSEY theme). It's because the images that they are paired with sync in a way that is transcendent. But enough introductions, hit the jump for the review.

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO Soundtrack Pre-Sale and Sampler

Javi here. As I have posted before, I am looking forward to the upcoming David Fincher remake of the original Danish movie based on the book, THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO. I haven't gotten around to reading the books, and I honestly thought the original movie was all build-up with a horribly paced pay-off. The only highlight was Noomi Rapace as new icon, Lisbeth Salander, and even then she just reminded me of a smarter version of an ex-girlfriend from back in college.

Regardless, we have this new version coming. David Fincher has surprised me as a director as of late, plus I'm very fascinated by the transformation of Rooney Mara, who will now be playing the Lisbeth character. And because it's David Fincher, it is now necessary for Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to be the ones that created the score for this movie. Now, we have full details of the release and even a link for an awesome 6-track sampler. Check them out after the jump.

Cover for THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATOO Soundtrack Revealed

Javi here. I'm not going to lie; a big part of the reason I was so excited about THE SOCIAL NETWORK was that Nine Inch Nails front man Trent Reznor and his long-time collaborator Atticus Ross. When the movie came out, I couldn't believe that the guy that wrote THE FRAGILE had created something some eerily beautiful, but I guess that's what age and sobriety do to any goth kid. But this year, the two musicians have teamed up with SOCIAL NETWORK director David Fincher for his new movie THE GIRLWITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, which has me all sorts of excited again. And we just got our first look at the cover.
