Heretic Prophet Composers Win Golden Globe

Summary

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, the composers behind the score for Naughty Dog's upcoming game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, have won a Golden Globe. Their award is for Best Original Score for Luca Guadagnino's film, Challengers.

The acclaimed musicians and composers, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, responsible for the soundtrack of Naughty Dog's anticipated game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, have been awarded the Golden Globe for Best Original Score. This accolade recognizes their work on Luca Guadagnino's film, Challengers. The recent Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet trailer showcased their composition, alongside snippets of licensed music featured in the game.

Reznor and Ross are renowned for their extensive collaboration on Nine Inch Nails, a band Reznor founded in 1988, and their critically acclaimed film scores for directors such as David Fincher and Pete Docter. Their impressive list of awards includes an Academy Award for Best Original Score for both The Social Network and Soul, along with multiple Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Scoring Intergalactic isn't entirely new territory for Reznor, who previously created the soundtrack for 1996's Quake and the main title track for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Ross and Reznor accepted the Golden Globe award for the romantic sports drama, Challengers, from presenters Elton John and Brandi Carlile. "The music that revealed itself as the voice of Challengers never felt like a safe choice, but it always felt like the right one," Ross stated on behalf of the duo. The dynamic electronic score embodies a contemporary, club-inspired vibe, perfectly complementing the film's edgy athleticism and sensuality. Given their current creative peak, Intergalactic's soundtrack promises to be one of the best in gaming history.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross Win Golden Globe for Original Film Score

While the creators of Nine Inch Nails' intense industrial rock might seem an unconventional choice for contemporary games and films, Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated their versatility. Their musical range is evident in their work: the haunting layers of The Social Network, the ethereal soundscapes of Soul, and now, the enigmatic score for Naughty Dog's space adventure. With online hints suggesting a horror element in Intergalactic, the choice of Reznor and Ross seems particularly fitting.

The Golden Globe win further elevates Reznor and Ross's already distinguished careers, generating significant hype for Intergalactic, a potentially groundbreaking title for Naughty Dog. Given their impeccable track record, the Intergalactic score promises an exceptional auditory experience, regardless of the game's final content.
