Tron: Ares soundtrack – Full tracklist for Nine Inch Nails score
Prolific film composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are set to score the new sci-fi sequel and have just released its first track.
In the last couple of decades, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have consistently been among the most exciting film composers working.
The duo – who have been releasing music together as Nine Inch Nails since the late '80s – have provided many of the most memorable scores of recent times, twice winning the Oscar for best original score for their work on The Social Network and Pixar's Soul.
Last year, the pair continued their fruitful collaborative relationship with director Luca Guadagnino – providing very different but equally excellent scores for both his 2024 releases, Challengers and Queer – and they're set to team up with the Italian again this year for his upcoming After the Hunt.
But perhaps more intriguingly, the pair also have another big assignment this year: providing the music for sci-fi sequel Tron: Ares.
What makes this especially interesting is that they are releasing the score under their Nine Inch Nails moniker, rather than simply as Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, as they usually do for their film music, with the soundtrack set to be their first full album as Nine Inch Nails since 2020.
In July, they released the first single from the soundtrack, which is titled As Alive As You Need Me to Be and is set to be one of 24 tracks to feature in the film.
