Nine Inch Nails' recent conceptual effort 'Year Zero,' which has already spawned an Alternate Reality Game, may be joining the likes of 'The Sopranos,' 'Six Feet Under,' 'Sex and the City' and 'The Wire.' Trent Reznor tells the L.A. Times that the album, set 15 to 20 years in a bleak future caused by the current state of affairs, might be coming to HBO. "I just pitched it to HBO two weeks ago in L.A. It went great," Reznor said. "Ideally, we're trying to get them to do a two-year limited series. I prefer that over a film. We would have a second ARG tying into the second album and ties into the series and they all happen together."

"It's the most exciting thing on the horizon," he continued. "It's the thing that when I wake up in the morning it makes me say, 'God it would be cool if that happened.' This is my grand ambition."

Meanwhile, Nine Inch Nails will continue their North American tour Tuesday in Knoxville, Tennessee.
