Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, composers for Naughty Dog's upcoming title 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 their work, alongside licensed music featured in the game. Reznor and Ross are renowned for their long-standing collaboration in Nine Inch Nails, and their acclaimed film scores for directors such as David Fincher and Pete Docter. Their accolades include an Academy Award for Best Original Score for both The Social Network and Soul, multiple Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Reznor also previously created the soundtrack for 1996's Quake and the main title track for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
Accepting the Golden Globe for Challengers, a romantic sports drama, Ross commented on their score, stating it "never felt like 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 highly anticipated.
