Golden Globe Win for Reznor and Ross Fuels Anticipation for Intergalactic 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 Award for Best Original Score. Their award-winning work graces Luca Guadagnino's film Challengers.
The recent Intergalactic trailer showcased a glimpse 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 film scores (including Academy Awards for The Social Network and Soul), the duo's experience extends to the gaming world, with Reznor's previous work on Quake and 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," highlighting its contemporary, club-influenced electronic style that perfectly complements the film's themes.
This Golden Globe win further elevates the anticipation surrounding Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Given Reznor and Ross's proven versatility—from the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network to the ethereal beauty of Soul—their contribution to this potentially horror-infused space adventure promises a truly exceptional soundtrack. With their impeccable track record, Intergalactic's score is poised to be a standout achievement in video game music. The game itself, a potential departure for Naughty Dog, will undoubtedly benefit from the added hype generated by this prestigious award.
