Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the acclaimed composers behind the score for Naughty Dog's upcoming title Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, have added another accolade to their impressive repertoire: 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 Reznor and Ross's composition, alongside snippets of licensed music featured in the game. Known for their extensive collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and their critically lauded scores for films directed by David Fincher and Pete Docter, the duo previously won an Academy Award for Best Original Score for both The Social Network and Soul, along with numerous Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Reznor also has prior experience composing for video games, notably providing the soundtrack for 1996's Quake and the main theme for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
Accepting the Golden Globe for Challengers, a romantic sports drama, Ross described the 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 achievement in video game music.
The pairing of Nine Inch Nails' creators with the worlds of contemporary gaming and film might seem unexpected, yet Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated their versatility. Their musical styles range from the haunting layers of The Social Network to the ethereal soundscapes of Soul. Their involvement with Intergalactic, a game rumored to incorporate horror elements, appears particularly fitting.
The Golden Globe win shines an even brighter spotlight on Reznor and Ross's careers, further fueling excitement for Intergalactic. This could mark a significant departure for Naughty Dog, and with the composers' impeccable track record, fans can anticipate a truly exceptional soundscape, regardless of the game's final narrative.
