Award-Winning Composers Score Naughty Dog's Intergalactic
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 list of achievements: a Golden Globe Award. The duo won Best Original Score for their work on Luca Guadagnino's film, Challengers.
The recent Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet trailer showcased a preview of Reznor and Ross's composition, alongside snippets of the game's licensed music. Known for their extensive collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and their acclaimed film scores (including Academy Awards for The Social Network and Soul), Reznor and Ross are no strangers to creating memorable soundscapes. Reznor's previous game credits include the soundtrack for 1996's Quake and the main title track for 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 always the right one." The contemporary, club-influenced electronic score perfectly complements the film's athletic and sensual themes. Given their current creative peak, Intergalactic's soundtrack is poised to be a standout.
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's Golden Globe Win Boosts Intergalactic Anticipation
The Golden Globe win further amplifies the anticipation surrounding Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. While their industrial rock roots might seem unexpected for game and film scoring, Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated versatility, crafting diverse soundscapes from the haunting layers of The Social Network to the ethereal beauty of Soul. With online hints suggesting a horror element in Intergalactic, their musical choices appear particularly fitting.
The added attention will undoubtedly fuel excitement for this potentially groundbreaking Naughty Dog title. Given their impeccable track record, the Intergalactic soundtrack promises an exceptional auditory experience, regardless of the final game content.
