Golden Globe Win for Reznor and Ross Boosts Anticipation for Intergalactic Soundtrack
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the musical minds behind the upcoming Naughty Dog title Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, have added another accolade to their impressive resume: a Golden Globe for Best Original Score. This award recognizes their work on Luca Guadagnino's film Challengers.
The recent Intergalactic trailer showcased a preview of Reznor and Ross's composition, alongside licensed tracks featured in the game. Known for their extensive collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and critically acclaimed scores for films directed by David Fincher and Pete Docter, the duo previously won an Academy Award for The Social Network and Soul, along with numerous Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Reznor's experience in game soundtracks extends back to 1996's Quake and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
Accepting the Golden Globe from presenters Elton John and Brandi Carlile, Ross described the Challengers score as "never...a safe choice, but it always felt like the right one." The contemporary, club-influenced electronic score perfectly complements the film's edgy athleticism and sensuality. Given their current creative peak, Intergalactic's soundtrack is poised to be a standout.
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's Golden Globe Win
While the creators of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock might seem an unconventional choice for game and film soundtracks, Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated their versatility. Their work ranges from the haunting layers of The Social Network to the ethereal soundscapes of Soul, and now, the mysterious soundscape for Naughty Dog's space-exploration title. With online speculation suggesting horror elements in Intergalactic, the choice of Reznor and Ross seems particularly fitting.
The Golden Globe win further amplifies the excitement surrounding Intergalactic, potentially a significant departure for Naughty Dog. Given their impeccable track record, the game's soundtrack promises an exceptional auditory experience, regardless of the final game content.
