Trent Reznor teams up with Fringe

It may not be a paranormal event, but it?s cool and unusual: Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor has teamed up with Fringe for a new promo spot, EW.com has learned. The spot, which debuts Thursday during Game 5 of the American League Championship Series, features a reworking of the Nine Inch Nails song ?Zero-Sum? by Reznor, who recites lines of dialogue from Fringe?s William Bell (Leonard Nimoy) over the music. So, how did the freaky drama series secure the services of Reznor? After Fox?s marketing department showed the Fringe producers a version of the promo that used ?Zero-Sum,? series exec producer Jeff Pinkner simply asked a nearby Reznor acquaintance?that?d be co-creator J.J. Abrams?if the NIN musician might be interested in a collaboration. One email later, Reznor was on the case. ?We offered him compensation, and he said, ?No, no, I just want to have fun and be part of something cool,?? says Pinkner, adding: ?How often do you get the chance to work with somebody like that??

Reznor wound up revamping the song in his mobile studio while on tour, and he even came up with the idea of ?embedding? one of the show?s glyphs in the music. (Hint: Examine the song?s sound waves on a computer.) Now for the big question: Might Reznor pop up in an episode of Fringe? ?If he wants to come act on the show, that?s not ###### for tat?that?s an open invitation, and we made that known to him,? says Pinkner. Any ideas on what he may play? ?Well, his head would probably end up exploding,? deadpans Pinkner. ?There?d be some uncEWe biology in there one way or another.?

Would that glyph be the 6-fingered hand ???

That's the only thing I could associate to one of the glyphs

Seems like the show will keep playing with the tension of everybody getting clues that Peter is from an alternate universe, but Peter being unaware, for the rest of the season. [EW]

Leonard Nimoy has one more appearance on the show that he's already filmed ? but he hints that he may not come back at all after that. The producers want him to come back, to deepen the "alternate universe" mythology, but he's waiting for them to come up with a story arc, and he'll see if it's compelling.MTVb>]

WTF! That would really suck.

In much sadder news, J.J. Abrams' Fringe is being marked as "in trouble" by TV Guide. The show's ratings have taken a dive in its second season, and many fear it won't get a full second season. If you need your weekly Walter fix, now's the time to start proselytizing ? get all your friends to watch!

Well why the hell did they put it against The Office if they wanted ratings?

Hrmf. Did they really expect the show to dominate an already filled night of popular television? As someone noted previously, there's nothing on Tuesdays anymore, which Fringe and House pretty much dominated if memory serves me right.

they should move it back to Tuesdays before they cancel it...if the ratings are still terrible then they have no choice...but i suspect they would go up as there's nothing on Tuesday anymore...

That's exactly what I was thinking.

FOX did this to Fringe. Had they left it where it was, it would have done great. FOX has made some terrible scheduling decisions and this is definitely one of them.
