Golden Globe Win for Reznor and Ross Boosts Anticipation for Intergalactic Soundtrack

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the composers 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 featured in the game. Known for their long-standing 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's previous video game contributions include the soundtrack for Quake (1996) and the main title theme for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Accepting the Golden Globe for Challengers, Ross described the score as "never…a safe choice, but it always felt like the right one." The contemporary electronic score complements the film's athletic and sensual themes. Given their current creative momentum, Intergalactic's soundtrack is poised to be a standout.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's Golden Globe Win

While their Nine Inch Nails roots might suggest a niche, Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated musical versatility. Their work ranges from the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network to the ethereal beauty of Soul, and now, the mysterious soundscape for Naughty Dog's space-faring adventure. With online speculation suggesting horror elements in Intergalactic, their selection as composers seems particularly fitting.

The Golden Globe win further amplifies excitement for Intergalactic, potentially a significant departure for Naughty Dog. Given their spotless track record, the game's soundtrack promises to be a remarkable achievement, regardless of the final game content.
