Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the acclaimed composers behind the soundtrack for Naughty Dog's upcoming title, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, have added another accolade to their impressive resume: a Golden Globe Award. The duo won Best Original Score for their work on Luca Guadagnino's film, Challengers.
This recent win follows the release of an Intergalactic trailer showcasing their work, alongside snippets of licensed music featured in the game. Reznor and Ross, renowned for their collaboration on Nine Inch Nails and numerous award-winning film scores (including Academy Awards for The Social Network and Soul), are no strangers to the world of video game soundtracks. Reznor previously composed the soundtrack for Quake (1996) and the main title theme for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
Accepting the Golden Globe from 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 electronic score perfectly complements the film's edgy athleticism and sensuality. Given their current creative peak, the Intergalactic soundtrack is poised to be a standout.
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's Golden Globe Win
The pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock origins with contemporary game and film scores might seem unconventional, yet Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated versatility. Their work spans the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network, the ethereal beauty of Soul, and now, the enigmatic sounds promised for Naughty Dog's space-exploration title. With online speculation suggesting a horror element in Intergalactic, their musical choices appear particularly fitting.
The Golden Globe win amplifies the already considerable anticipation surrounding Intergalactic, a potential departure for Naughty Dog. Given their impeccable track record, the soundtrack promises an exceptional auditory experience, regardless of the game's final form. The anticipation is palpable.
