Trent Reznor Scoring David Fincher's'Girl With the Dragon Tattoo'« FirstShowing.net

Looking back at 2010, one piece of last year that Iknowwill be talked about for years is Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' score for David Fincher'sThe Social Network, that's not only topping a lot of best soundtrack lists (including the/Filmcast's Best of), but is just an amazing contemporary score than many folks listen to on a daily basis. So I'm not really surprised, but Iamvery excited to report thatTrent Reznoris scoring Fincher's next film,The Girl with the Dragon Tattooremake, that he's shooting. The Nine Inch Nails musician confirmed during a live chat with Jon Pareles onTimesTalktonight (caught byThe Film Stage).

Obviously not only did his work onThe Social Networkjust turn out phenomenal in the end, but he must've become friends with Fincher, as that would explain why he wants him back for more. Reznor has apparently been working on the film for about six weeks so far and said to"expect something different"thanThe Social Network, but they've obviously got a long ways to go, so plenty can change. I'm guessing that Reznor might also work with producer/composerAtticus Rossagain, but that hasn't been confirmed yet. Fincher is still hard at work onThe Girl with the Dragon Tattooas Sony has the film set for release thisDecember 21st. Reznor's style will fit well into a brilliant, dark"techno-thriller"like this, which makes him a perfect choice.

If you can't tell, I've been listening to the score while writing this and it really is incredible (it's worth every penny!). It's a great accompaniment to almost any kind of work you're doing, although it' particularly fitting because I'm working on a website right now too– how meta! Anyway, this is fantastic news to hear, as I've found myself enjoying most of the work that mainstream musicians have done on various soundtracks, and I'm happy to see Reznor continue working in film once again. I'm already looking forward to hearing/seeingThe Girl with the Dragon Tattooeven though we've still got another 12 months to go. Bring it on, Fincher!
