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 included in the game. Known for their long-standing collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and their critically acclaimed film scores (including Academy Awards for The Social Network and Soul), the duo's involvement promises a high-caliber soundtrack. Reznor's previous experience scoring video games, such as Quake and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, further solidifies this expectation.
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 soundscape perfectly complements the film's themes of athleticism and sensuality. Given their current creative momentum, Intergalactic's soundtrack is poised to be a standout.
Reznor and Ross's Versatility Shines
The pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock pioneers with contemporary gaming and film projects might seem unexpected, yet Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated remarkable musical adaptability. From the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network to the ethereal beauty of Soul, their work consistently transcends genre. Given hints suggesting a horror element in Intergalactic, their selection as composers seems particularly fitting.
High Expectations for Intergalactic
The Golden Globe win undoubtedly amplifies the excitement surrounding Intergalactic, a potential departure for Naughty Dog. With an impeccable track record, Reznor and Ross's contribution to the game's soundtrack is anticipated to be exceptional, regardless of the final game's content.
