Trent Reznor on New Nine Inch Nails Album: “Just wait and see what happens.”
It’s December 14th, which means there’s only 17 days left in 2016. It also leaves us with three Fridays until the New Year. Why is this important? Because a year ago this week, Trent Reznor tweeted, “New NIN coming in 2016. Other stuff, too.”
New NIN coming in 2016. Other stuff, too.

It’s been a busy year for Reznor, who is deeply embedded into Apple’s Music service, which is now boasting 20 million subscribers.
While allegedly working on a new Nine Inch Nails album, he’s also been scoring various films with partner Atticus Ross, which include the climate-change doc Before the Flood and terrorism drama Patriots Day.
It’s been a long wait for Nine Inch Nails fans, who have been on pins and needles since Reznor teased them, only to see month after month pass by without even a single. Back in October Reznor even reiterated his promise, refusing to make excuses or cover up his words, telling a fan that “2016 is not over yet.”
Here we sit on the cusp of 2017 with nothing but the Oscar-winning musician’s word – one that continues to tease that he’ll deliver on his promise.
In a new Rolling Stone interview, they reminded Reznor of his tweet, “Those words did come out of my mouth, didn’t they?” he says bluntly. Then he feigns surprise. “Oh, yeah, it’s December, isn’t it?” He pauses. “Just wait and see what happens.”
Just let that wash over you for a second.
He’s not only teasing a new Nine Inch Nails, but he’s making it sound as if he’s going to drop bombs on the music world that’s going to change the landscape. I’d be remiss to point out that Reznor has been on the forefront with new music distribution by surprise dropping and selling various editions of his 2008 instrumental box set, Ghosts, while also offering free digital downloads of The Slip the same year (allowing fans to pre-order a physical copy if they so chose to do so).
Yes, Reznor is an innovator and is always breaking new ground, which should could lead to one of the biggest entertainment surprises in 2016.
Just how excited are you right now?
The Lost Boys: A New Musical officially kicked off on Broadway last month, and Deadline now reports that the show’s Broadway run has been extended into next year.
The show was originally set to run through November, but Deadline reports that The Lost Boys: A New Musical “has released a block of tickets through Sunday, March 7, 2027.”
The news comes in the wake of The Lost Boys: A New Musical becoming the most Tony-nominated musical of the season with twelve nominations including Best Musical.
Additionally, “The Lost Boys will launch a North American National Tour in Spring 2028, at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Additional cities and tour dates will be announced later.”
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is of course an adaptation of the 1987 horror classic from director Joel Schumacher, with the cast including Ali Louis Bourzgui as lead vampire David (originally played by Kiefer Sutherland), Maria Wirries as Star (originally played by Jami Gertz), and LJ Benet as the soon-to-be-turned Michael (originally played by Jason Patric).
The horror musical’s cast also includes Shoshana Bean as Lucy Emerson, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Paul Alexander Nolan as Max, Jennifer Duka as Alan Frog, Miguel Gil as Edgar Frog, Brian Flores as Marko, Sean Grandillo as Dwayne, and Dean Maupin as Paul.
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is Directed by Michael Arden, featuring Music and Lyrics by The Rescues, Book by David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, Story by James Jeremias & Janice Fischer, and Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait & Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.
When a mother and her two teenage sons move to Santa Carla in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging.
As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a terrifying reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.
Joel Schumacher directed the original The Lost Boys vampire movie in 1987, wherein two brothers move to a new town and discover that the area is a haven for vampires.
