Golden Globe Win for Reznor and Ross Boosts Anticipation for Intergalactic Soundtrack
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the acclaimed composers behind the upcoming Naughty Dog game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, have added another accolade to their impressive resume: a Golden Globe for Best Original Score. Their award-winning composition was for Luca Guadagnino's film Challengers.
The recent Intergalactic trailer showcased a preview of Reznor and Ross's work, alongside licensed music featured in the game. Known for their iconic work with Nine Inch Nails and numerous award-winning film scores (including Academy Awards for The Social Network and Soul), the duo's experience extends to the gaming world, with Reznor's previous contributions to 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 electronic score perfectly complements the film's edgy athleticism and sensual themes. Given their current creative peak, Intergalactic's soundtrack is poised to be a standout.
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's Golden Globe Win
The pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock pioneers with contemporary gaming and film might seem unexpected, yet Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated remarkable versatility. Their musical range is evident in the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network, the ethereal beauty of Soul, and now, the anticipated score for Naughty Dog's space-faring horror title, Intergalactic. Online hints suggesting a horror theme for Intergalactic make their involvement even more fitting.
This Golden Globe win further amplifies the excitement surrounding Intergalactic, a potential departure for Naughty Dog. Given Reznor and Ross's impeccable track record, the game's soundtrack promises an exceptional auditory experience, regardless of the final game content.
