Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross Set to Compose New Music for HBO’s “Watchmen” TV Series

Published

on

Damon Lindelof’s “Watchmen” has officially been ordered to series at HBO, based on the DC graphic novel from Alan Moore. An exciting update today brings word that Nine Inch Nails’ Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross will be composing the music for the series!

The duo won an Oscar for scoring The Social Network back in 2010.

HBO’s official description of the series details:

‘Watchmen’ embraces the nostalgia of the original groundbreaking graphic novel while attempting to break new ground of its own.” That is in keeping with the letter Lindelof posted for fans back in May in which he stated that the show will not be a re-telling of the story from the graphic novel, but rather a new story in the same world with new characters set in the present day.

The cast includes: Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Don Johnson, Tim Blake Nelson, Louis Gossett Jr., Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Adelaide Clemens, Andrew Howard, Tom Mison, Frances Fisher, Jacob Ming-Trent, Sara Vickers, Dylan Schombing, Lily Rose Smith, and Adelynn Spoon.

Lindelof will write and executive produce, with Nicole Kassell directing the pilot and executive producing. Stephen Williams will also direct and executive produce, with Joseph Iberti and Tom Spezialy also executive producing. “Watchmen” is produced for HBO by White Rabbit in association with Warner Bros. Television, based on characters from DC.

“Some of the characters will be unknown,” Lindelof says. “New faces. New masks to cover them.”

“We also intend to revisit the past century of Costumed Adventuring through a surprising yet familiar set of eyes…and it is here we will be taking our greatest risks.”

The series is slated to debut in 2019.
