Composers snag Golden Globe for otherworldly 'Intergalactic'

Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the composers behind the upcoming Naughty Dog game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, have won a Golden Globe Award. Their Best Original Score win was for Luca Guadagnino's film Challengers.

The recent Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet trailer showcased a blend of Reznor and Ross's original score and licensed music. Known for their extensive collaboration on Nine Inch Nails (since 1988) and acclaimed film scores for directors like David Fincher and Pete Docter, the duo previously won an Academy Award for The Social Network and Soul, along with several Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Reznor also composed the soundtrack for 1996's Quake and the main title track for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Accepting the Golden Globe for the romantic sports drama Challengers, Ross described their score as "never...a safe choice, but it always felt like the right one." The contemporary electronic score complements the film's edgy athleticism and sensuality. Given their current creative peak, Intergalactic's soundtrack is poised to be a standout.

Golden Globe Win Boosts Anticipation for Intergalactic

While their Nine Inch Nails roots might suggest otherwise, Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated versatility, crafting diverse soundscapes—from the haunting tones of The Social Network to the ethereal beauty of Soul. With online hints suggesting a horror element in Intergalactic, their musical style seems perfectly suited.

The Golden Globe win further amplifies the excitement surrounding Intergalactic, a potential departure for Naughty Dog. Given their impeccable track record, the game's soundtrack promises to be exceptional.
