Sci-Fi Drama 'Intergalactic' Composers Win Golden Globe

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the 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 Award.

The duo received the prestigious award for Best Original Score for their work on Luca Guadagnino's film, Challengers. The recent Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet trailer showcased a preview of their composition, alongside a selection of licensed music featured in the game.

Reznor and Ross are renowned for their extensive collaboration on Nine Inch Nails, and their critically acclaimed scores for films directed by prominent figures such as David Fincher and Pete Docter. Their collaborative efforts have garnered numerous awards, including an Academy Award for Best Original Score for both The Social Network and Soul, along with multiple Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Reznor also previously contributed to the soundtrack of the 1996 video game Quake and the main title track for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Accepting the Golden Globe for their work on the romantic sports drama Challengers, Ross commented on their approach to the score: "The music that revealed itself as the voice of Challengers never felt like a safe choice, but it always felt like the right one." The contemporary electronic score perfectly complements the film's edgy athleticism and sensual themes. Given their current creative momentum, the Intergalactic soundtrack is poised to be a standout achievement in video game music.

Golden Globe Win Boosts Anticipation for Intergalactic

While their origins in the hard-driving industrial rock of Nine Inch Nails might seem unexpected for video game and film scoring, Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated remarkable versatility. Their musical range is evident in their work: from the haunting layers of The Social Network to the ethereal soundscapes of Soul, and now, the enigmatic score for Naughty Dog's space exploration adventure. With online speculation suggesting a horror element in Intergalactic, the choice of Reznor and Ross seems particularly fitting.

The Golden Globe win further elevates the anticipation surrounding Intergalactic, potentially a significant departure for Naughty Dog. Given their impeccable track record, fans can confidently expect a truly exceptional auditory experience with the game's soundtrack, regardless of the final game content.
