'Intergalactic' Score Grabs Golden Globe

Golden Globe Win Boosts Anticipation for Naughty Dog's 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 resume: a Golden Globe for Best Original Score. This award recognizes their work on Luca Guadagnino's film, Challengers.

The recent Intergalactic trailer showcased a preview of Reznor and Ross's composition, alongside licensed music featured in the game. Known for their extensive collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and their award-winning scores for films directed by David Fincher and Pete Docter, the duo previously won an Academy Award for The Social Network and Soul, along with numerous Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Reznor's previous experience in video game soundtracks includes Quake (1996) and the main title track for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

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

Reznor and Ross: A Dynamic Duo in Film and Game Scoring

The pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock pioneers with contemporary games and films might seem unexpected, but Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated their versatility. Their musical range is evident in the haunting score for The Social Network, the ethereal soundscapes of Soul, and now, the anticipated score for Naughty Dog's space-faring adventure. With online speculation suggesting horror elements in Intergalactic, the choice of Reznor and Ross seems particularly fitting.

The Golden Globe win will undoubtedly amplify the excitement surrounding Intergalactic, a potential departure for Naughty Dog. Given their impeccable track record, fans can anticipate a remarkable auditory experience, regardless of the game's final form.
