Fresh from his win last Sunday night at the Academy Awards, Trent Reznor is reportedly in talks with 20th Century Fox to not only provide the music for the upcoming big screen adaptation of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter … but he may also play a role in the film! As you may recall, we learned last October that plans were in the works to bring the novel to life on the big screen and now we learn that the studio is hoping to get Reznor to play a vampire in the film!
Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails fame, who made the transformation to Oscar-winning composer with the score for last year’s The Social Network, is in talks to join Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. A spokesperson for 20th Century Fox confirms that the studio is currently negotiating to lure Reznor aboard, not only to supply the film’s music, but to play Jack Barts, the vampire who kills Lincoln’s mother and sets the hero on his path of righteous vengeance.
OMG … this would be AMAZING! I mean, yes, the music stuff would be very cool … but if Trent really does sign on to appear in the film (most likely a smaller cameo role) as a vampire, I will just die! Previously, Reznor appeared in the Michael J. Fox/Joan Jett film Light of Day back in 1987 as a keyboard player in a band … but I believe this role, should Reznor accept, would be his first significant role in a film as an actor. I, personally, think Trent would make a fantastic vampire … let’s see if he decides to take the part. What do y’all think? Would YOU like to see Trent Reznor move into the world of acting?

That book is awesome!
No opinion on TR, just really liked the book.
Rumor has it that he’s up for the vampire, whose name I forget, that
*SPOILER ALERT*
kills Lincoln’s mom. Not really feeling that casting. I could definitely see him Henry Sturgess or Jack Armstrong, though.
“20th Century Fox confirms that the studio is currently negotiating to lure Reznor aboard, not only to supply the film’s music, but to play Jack Barts, the vampire who kills Lincoln’s mother and sets the hero on his path of righteous vengeance.” It’s in the article.
Well, don’t I feel stupid…
I don’t know. It would be awesome if he did the music, but acting????
Love, love love it. Perfect casting, great book – right guy for the music. Who’s playing Lincoln?
I don’t care who they choose..I just want to see the damn thing! I loved this book and hopefully, whoever they pick to act and produce and direct the movie will do the book justice!
Lincoln is going to be played Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson star Benjamin Walker. A wonderful talent and great singer.

He wasn’t so bad in the video for “Deep”. That should count as acting too.
i support this. 100%.
I was already up for it because of Ben Walker from Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson. This news makes it sound all the sweeter.
