Nine Inch Nails and the World of Movie Scores
When you think about Nine Inch Nails, their Ghosts albums might come to mind. They do kind of sound like a soundtrack, don't they? Well, now the band is officially diving into that role. This isn't their first rendezvous with creating music for visual media, as they have previously created the score for the video game Quake. But with Tron: Ares, they are set to give us an idea of what they can really achieve in the world of movie scoring.
The Masterminds Behind the Music – Reznor and Ross
The brains and creativity behind Nine Inch Nails are Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Reznor has been a solo member since 1988, and Ross joined the band in 2004. Together, they have achieved something really special – they transitioned from just creating music to making music for the big screen. These guys are Oscar winners, receiving Best Original Score for The Social Network and Soul. They've been up for other nominations too, showcasing their deep and diverse talent.
Their cinematic works include The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Gone Girl, and they recently worked on Luca Guadagnino's Bones and All and Challengers. Plus, they worked on the score for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Cool, right? It's super fun to see how musicians can branch out and apply their sound to different mediums.
First Taste of Tron: Ares Score
At the recent D23 event, some snippets of Nine Inch Nails' score for Tron: Ares were revealed, giving us a sneak peek into what's to come. Everyone is super excited and the music seems to be really promising.
What We Know About Tron: Ares

This showcases the first interaction between humans and A.I. beings. Pretty epic, right? Filming wrapped up in May and the release is planned for October 10th, 2025.
