Nine Inch Nails Duo Wins Golden Globe, Sets Stage for Naughty Dog's Intergalactic Score

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: a Golden Globe for Best Original Score. Their award-winning work graces Luca Guadagnino's film Challengers.

The recent Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet trailer showcased a preview of Reznor and Ross's composition, alongside licensed tracks featured in the game. Known for their enduring collaboration with Nine Inch Nails and critically acclaimed scores for films directed by David Fincher and Pete Docter, the pair previously won an Academy Award for The Social Network and Soul, alongside multiple Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Reznor's video game experience includes the soundtrack for 1996's Quake and the main theme for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Accepting their 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 modern, club-influenced electronic score perfectly complements the film's edgy athleticism and sensual themes. Given their current creative peak, Intergalactic's soundtrack promises to be a standout.

Golden Globe Victory Fuels Anticipation for Intergalactic

The unlikely pairing of Nine Inch Nails' industrial rock origins with contemporary game and film scores has proven remarkably successful. Reznor and Ross have demonstrated exceptional versatility, crafting the haunting soundscapes of The Social Network, the ethereal beauty of Soul, and now, the enigmatic sounds for Naughty Dog's space exploration title. With online hints suggesting a horror element in Intergalactic, the choice of Reznor and Ross seems particularly fitting.

Their Golden Globe win further amplifies the excitement surrounding Intergalactic, a potential departure for Naughty Dog. Given their impeccable track record, fans can anticipate a truly exceptional auditory experience, regardless of the game's final form.
