Nine Inch Nails have decided to turn their latest album, Year Zero, into a futuristic TV show, according to reports.

The rockers plan to base the programme around an era when America is governed by a right wing, religious dictatorship and will reflect the words of the songs on the LP.

Frontman Trent Reznor explained: "We've got a producer on board and have met with writers. We're about to pitch it to the network, so we're a couple of weeks away from meeting all of the main people, and we'll see what happens."
