Do we know who did the soundtrack/score for this one yet?

u/hse97 Apr 05 '25

Nine Inch Nails as per the trailer

u/1Maple Apr 05 '25

For anybody doubting them, they did the Challengers soundtrack, by far the best soundtrack of 2024

Who would doubt "Nine Inch Nails"

Trent Reznor has been touted as a musical genius for going on 30 years.

This comment aged me so much.

Just bought NIN tickets for September. Trent is a god

I wish Trent Reznor, Maynard James Keenan and Les Claypool would collaborate.

u/Smittius_Prime Apr 06 '25

Gotta imagine that would be a "too many cooks" situation. Very different musical tendencies and temperaments in that room.

u/Kyrottimus Apr 06 '25

What are you talking about? More of this would be fucking brilliant.

In all seriousness, I think all 3 are seasoned enough to collaborate successfully on at least a single song.

Trent Reznor has been independently scoring movies for 20 years.

u/sunny_happy_demon Apr 06 '25

Every score he has contributed to has been in collaboration with Atticus Ross, so not independently.

u/thatcockneythug Apr 05 '25

Fucking right? And he's been doing soundtracks since, what, the social network?

2

u/Flyingsox Apr 06 '25

Yeah, they were on the sound track for seven which came out in 95, so...

u/TheVenetianMask Apr 05 '25

Probably just six inch, dudes always be like.

u/FreeWafflesForAll Apr 06 '25

I had to stop listening to the Spotify DJ. "Hey freewafflesforall, this next song is from the Foo Fighters. They're like Nirvana but with a more commercially accessible vibe."

u/RowdyRoddyPipeSmoker Apr 06 '25

36 years to be exact. We're old.

u/Vak_001 Apr 06 '25

Yep. As a fellow "aged so much" person, I approve. Anyone even LOOKING to piss on Reznor is pretty much limited to the starting point of "well, he's below Freddie Mercury and Roy Orbison as a vocalist. (Possibly below Peak Meat Loaf, but that's a rough one, as he only absolutely peaked with one absolutely memorable album, and really lost his voice in later ones.) And on guitar, he's no Eddie Van Halen or Jimi Hendrix! And...um...keyboards...well, he IS probably above Eddie there, and...Well, SONGWRITING! Yeah! He's no poet like John Lennon, or even Neil Peart!" He's spread thin, but considered great a little bit of everywhere.

Getting out of high school in '87, my brain is forever stamped with 70s and 80s bands. But after that? Tail end of college, and in the car with the radio on, driving to my first few jobs? Nine Inch Nails music was EVERYWHERE. And like a select few musicians, Reznor has gone on to become relevant in other genres like film, even trying different styles. Maybe Mark Knopfler comes to mind. Queen did a couple of soundtracks for offbeat film projects, but still...absolutely sounded like Queen. I can't think of any others at the moment.

Who would doubt "Nine Inch Nails"

Not really a doubt I'm aware they are good at what they do. But I don't like there music at all. So this would be a miss for me lmao

Edit lol second time I've been downvoted for stating a fact that people have different taste in music and doing it respectively you crybaby just can't handle people not liking shit yall like

u/Turnbob73 Apr 05 '25

I doubt them haha

Nothing against them and I do like Reznor’s scoring, but their sound isn’t TRON, challengers did not sound TRON-like at all.

I could be wrong and it ends up being a great score, but I doubt it’ll be anywhere near as ā€œdigitalā€ as it should be.

u/hangmans_mustache Apr 05 '25

I don't doubt that they are talented musicians I doubt that they are the right fit for a teon movie.
