Golden Globe Win Boosts Anticipation for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet Soundtrack
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. Their award-winning composition for Luca Guadagnino's Challengers further solidifies their reputation as leading composers in film and gaming. The recent Intergalactic trailer showcased a glimpse of their work, alongside licensed tracks featured in the game.
Reznor and Ross, renowned for their extensive collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and their critically acclaimed scores for films directed by David Fincher and Pete Docter, have previously earned an Academy Award for The Social Network and Soul, along with numerous Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Reznor’s experience in gaming soundtracks extends back to 1996's Quake and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
Accepting the Golden Globe for Challengers, Ross described the score as "never…a safe choice, but always the right one," highlighting its contemporary, club-influenced electronic style that complements the film's themes. Given their current creative momentum, the Intergalactic soundtrack is poised to be a standout achievement.
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's Golden Globe Triumph
The pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock pioneers with contemporary gaming and film might seem unconventional, yet Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated remarkable versatility. Their musical range is evident in the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network, the ethereal beauty of Soul, and now, the enigmatic score for 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 shines an even brighter spotlight on Reznor and Ross, amplifying the excitement surrounding Intergalactic, a potential departure for Naughty Dog. Their impeccable track record assures listeners of a captivating auditory experience, regardless of the final game's content.
