Nine Inch Nails will score the upcoming TRON movie, TRON: Ares, Disney announced during its D23 presentation on Friday.
NIN members Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have become among the most celebrated composers in the film industry over the past 15 years, winning two Academy Awards and numerous other accolades. However, TRON: Ares is the first film score specifically attributed to Nine Inch Nails. It also marks the first project from NIN since the release of their ambient instrumental music collections, Ghosts V: Together and Ghosts VI: Locusts, in 2020.
In an interview earlier this year, Reznor and Ross revealed that they had several projects in the works, including a TV show with The Bear creator Christopher Storer; a film with horror director Mike Flanagan; a clothing line called Memory Fades; and a collaboration with Epic Games involving the UEFN ecosystem Epic has built around Fortnite. The duo also said they were planning to launch their own record company a music festival. On the topic of new Nine Inch Nails music, Reznor indicated that he was “itching” to make a new album.
