Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross Score Ken Burns’ New Vietnam Documentary

Trent Reznor and newly official Nine Inch Nails bandmate Atticus Ross are scoring a new Ken Burns’ documentary about the Vietnam War, The New York Times reports. The 10-part, 18-hour documentary (called The Vietnam War) premieres in September on PBS. It is set to include over two hours of new original music from the duo, as well as reworked versions of NIN songs and music from their The Social Network and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo scores. In addition to Reznor and Ross, The Vietnam War features music from Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble.

Reznor and Ross’ work on the film follows recent scores for the Mark Wahlberg-starring film Patriots Day and the climate change documentary Before the Flood. Nine Inch Nails recently released a new EP called Not the Actual Events. They are planning “two major works” in 2017 and will perform at Panorama Festival.
