Reznor and Ross's Golden Globe Win Fuels Anticipation for Intergalactic Soundtrack
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the composers behind the upcoming Naughty Dog game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, have added another accolade to their impressive list of achievements: a Golden Globe for Best Original Score. Their award-winning work graces Luca Guadagnino's film Challengers.
The recent Intergalactic trailer showcased a preview of their score, alongside licensed music featured in the game. Reznor and Ross, renowned for their long-standing collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and their acclaimed film scores (including Academy Awards for The Social Network and Soul), are no strangers to the gaming world. Reznor previously contributed to the soundtrack of Quake (1996) and the main title track for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
Accepting their Golden Globe from Elton John and Brandi Carlile, Ross described the Challengers score as "never a safe choice, but always the right one." The contemporary electronic soundscape perfectly complements the film's edgy athleticism and sensual themes. Given their current creative peak, Intergalactic's soundtrack promises to be a standout.
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's Golden Globe Triumph
The pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock roots with contemporary game and film scoring might seem unexpected, yet Reznor and Ross consistently demonstrate remarkable versatility. Their musical range spans the haunting layers of The Social Network, the ethereal beauty of Soul, and now, the enigmatic soundscape of Naughty Dog's space exploration title. With online hints suggesting horror elements in Intergalactic, their musical choices seem particularly fitting.
This Golden Globe win further elevates Reznor and Ross's profiles, generating significant buzz for Intergalactic, a potentially bold new direction for Naughty Dog. Given their impeccable track record, the game's soundtrack is poised to be a truly exceptional auditory experience, regardless of the final game's content.
