Golden Globe Win Boosts Anticipation for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet 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. Their award-winning work graces Luca Guadagnino's film Challengers.
The recent Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet trailer showcased a preview of Reznor and Ross's composition, alongside licensed tracks featured in the game. Known for their extensive collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and their critically acclaimed 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, having created the soundtrack for 1996's Quake and the main title 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 soundscape perfectly complements the film's themes of athleticism and sensuality. Given their exceptional talent, the Intergalactic soundtrack is poised to be a standout.
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's Golden Globe Win
The pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock pioneers with contemporary gaming and film might seem unexpected, yet Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated their versatility. Their musical range spans the haunting layers of The Social Network, the ethereal beauty of Soul, and now, the enigmatic soundscape of Naughty Dog's space-exploration title. With online speculation suggesting a horror element in Intergalactic, their musical choices appear particularly fitting.
The Golden Globe win further amplifies anticipation for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, potentially a significant departure for Naughty Dog. Given their impeccable track record, the game's soundtrack promises to be a remarkable auditory experience, regardless of the final game content.
