Grammy Winners Score Globe for Cosmic Opera

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

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the acclaimed composers behind the soundtrack for Naughty Dog's upcoming title, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, have added another accolade to their impressive list of achievements: 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 music featured in the game. Known for their extensive collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and their award-winning scores for films directed by David Fincher and Pete Docter, the duo previously won an Academy Award for The Social Network and Soul, alongside numerous Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Reznor also has a history of video game soundtracks, notably contributing to Quake (1996) 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, club-influenced electronic score perfectly complements the film's themes of athleticism and sensuality. Given their current creative momentum, the Intergalactic soundtrack is poised to be a standout achievement.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's Golden Globe Win

While the creators of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock might seem an unconventional choice for game and film scores, Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated their versatility. Their work ranges from the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network to the ethereal beauty of Soul. Their involvement with Intergalactic, a game rumored to incorporate horror elements, makes their musical style particularly fitting.

The Golden Globe win further amplifies the excitement surrounding Intergalactic, potentially a significant departure for Naughty Dog. Given their impeccable track record, the soundtrack promises to be a captivating auditory experience, regardless of the game's final form.
