Wait, this can't be right. Another tour as soon as the score is in? This is the first I hear of this.

This interview was conducted before the Summer tour.
Consequence of Sound is misreporting that PHM also included a live orchestra. Looks like they missed a word when they read this part:

Reznor... who just got off the X-month tour in support of [bullshit smartass description] Hesitation Marks... bla bla... returning to scoring Fincher's (who ... bla bla... also shot Only video and used Closer in Se7en) new movie, after TSN and TGTTDT... bla bla... Lost Highway... Natural Born Killers...
Jesus, get to the point already.
@fillow I'd wager 80-90% of regular WSJ readers don't listen to NIN and are more likely to know him as an Oscar winner than live performer, it's kinda useful to have it. Now, when Kerrang does it, that's totally fucking pointless.
Very excited by the live orchestral session news. I assume it'll be incorporated into the usual TR/AR style somehow, and that sounds awesome. They should probably just put the music out now. Yeah. That'd be good.
Is it safe to assume that this will be the first of the soundtracks to be released after the movie comes out, then?
Context makes writing - especially reporting - more meaningful. If you're reading the Wall Street Journal, there's a very good chance that you have no idea who the hell Atticus and Trent are. It adds depth to the story to mention that this is, despite being their third go at a score, rather out of character in respect to their past (and other current projects). Not everyone who reads a story about an artist knows who they are and wants to just skip over all the details, and reporting with less information is just lazy.
Want short and to the point? Get your news from Twitter. The Wall Street Journal clearly isn't the paper for you if you don't like details.
Now, on topic: this is a movie I probably won't actually go see. I'm on tour the entire time it's in theaters (presumably), and killing a precious moment of free time outside of one gigantic dark, windowless room by sitting in a different one doesn't strike me as fun. But I'm eager to hear this score when it comes out, as the previous two are already staples for travel soundtracks. I've got a lot of flying coming up; something tells me this score is going to be getting a lot of attention on those trips.
If you're inferring that from the article, then no. What they were saying was that they had to turn the album in a week after the interview was conducted, which was likely a month or two ago. The way the film's release date was shoved in there muddled it up.
If you're not referring to the article, then also no, based purely on the release dates of the previous two soundtracks, and indeed most film soundtracks, as far as I know.
I don't really wanna jump any more on you than anyone else did but... this was actually a pretty decent article/interview and your attitude is why we can't have nice things. to be honest, I had forgotten about the Only video (on purpose? you be the judge) and I'm a NIN-SuperFanTM
It's not really about this particular article. It just occurred to me that every other of such articles follow this formula, where up to 75% of the text is a recap of artist's (or band's) career, while very little is said about what's actually going on.
It's how they teach us in college mate. Expository Writing and Research in the Disciplines, etc...we follow a similar formula to keep it interesting for any reader. Sure it's annoying sometimes, especially to the hardcore fans (especially when the research for the "recap" isn't even 100% correct), but i guess it's unavoidable.
I agree, I'd much rather read a tweet on actual developments then have to read an article with that tweet SURROUNDED by six paragraphs of shit I already knew.
In fact, fuck the system! Hoorah.
After many years of reading articles of this type, I have one golden rule now - if someone's linked me to an article, unless they actually say it's worthy of reading all the way through, I just look for quotation marks. Everything else is just padding.

New interview about gone girl.
D'oh. Turns out that's a reblog of a reblog of the WSJ article. Here's the first sentence:
They didn't even link to the article they quoted, or the article it quoted.According to The Pulse Of Radio, NINE INCH NAILS mainman Trent Reznor told The Wall Street Journal...
Movie and soundtrack cant come soon enough.. David Fincher , Trent and Atticus all do amazing work.
Do we actually know if Null Corp is releasing this one? The Nullco site is super buggy right now and I don't know if that's just because Rob forgot about it or because there's secrets
Huh, everything except Ghosts and The Slip are completely inaccessible.
This one might be a Null release, and Rob's reworking the website to reveal that. Sucks that the TSN and GDT pages are busted now, though.
How do I extract the audio from the website www.findamazingamy.com? I downloaded the video, but there's no audio.
