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: The Heretic Prophet 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 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 multiple Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Reznor also contributed to the soundtrack of the 1996 game Quake and the main title track for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
Accepting the Golden Globe for Challengers, a sports drama centered around a love triangle, Ross described the score as "never...a safe choice, but it always felt like the right one." The contemporary, club-influenced electronic score complements the film's edgy athleticism and sensuality. Given their current creative peak, the Intergalactic soundtrack is poised to become a landmark achievement in video game music.
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's Golden Globe Win
The pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock pioneers with contemporary games and films might seem unconventional, yet Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated remarkable versatility. Their work ranges from the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network to the ethereal melodies of Soul, and now the enigmatic soundscape of Naughty Dog's space exploration title. With online hints suggesting a horror element in Intergalactic, the choice of Reznor and Ross as composers seems particularly fitting.
The Golden Globe win further amplifies the anticipation surrounding Intergalactic, potentially a significant departure for Naughty Dog. Given their spotless track record, the game's soundtrack promises to be a captivating auditory experience, regardless of the final game's content.
