Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross To Score Joe Wright’s ‘Woman In The Window’ Starring Amy Adams

It’s hard to believe that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have only been working together on film scores since 2010’s “The Social Network.” Of course, that collaboration got off to an incredible start, as the duo won the Oscar for their work on the David Fincher film. Since then, they’ve put together an incredible filmography of scores, with works like “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” “Gone Girl,” “Patriots Day,” and most recently on Jonah Hill’s directorial debut “mid90s.” And it looks like Reznor and Ross aren’t stopping anytime soon, as they line up a new Netflix film, an HBO series, and the latest project from filmmaker Joe Wright.

In an interview with Variety, Reznor and Ross go into detail about their process and how the duo seems to work well together, when most composers work alone. They also talk about their upcoming film slate, which includes “Bird Box,” which is set to hit Netflix later this year, and “Watchmen,” the comic book adaptation that HBO is making into a new series that will premiere in 2019.

“With ‘Bird Box,’ it’s mixing right now, and we’ve been working on that on and off pretty much all this year,” reveals Reznor. The Sandra Bullock-starring film comes from Academy Award-winning director Susanne Bier and Academy Award-nominated writer Eric Heisserer. “Bird Box” is a thriller about a woman attempting to save her family from a mysterious force that kills you if you see it. The film getting serious awards consideration, which means we could be hearing Reznor and Ross’ names come up in the awards chatter.

The duo also talks about how they were brought in to provide the music for the upcoming HBO series “Watchmen.” And it sounds like it wasn’t a matter of Reznor and Ross being asked to work on the project. Instead, it appears that Reznor, especially, approached creator Damon Lindelof about joining the highly-anticipated superhero series.

“We reached out to Damon and the HBO camp when I first heard about it, because I’ve been a fan of Damon since ‘Lost.’ I was completely blown away by ‘The Leftovers.’ Also, as a big fan of ‘Watchmen’ [in other incarnations], I appreciated the fearlessness that taking on that property and that IP would require. I thought, if anybody was to do it at any place, HBO and Damon sounds exciting to me,” Reznor said.

He continued, “I’ve never done TV, but needless to say, it’s been a great several years for television, and long-form storytelling is exciting…For ‘Watchmen’ we’ve had the challenge of working almost blind, off a bit of a script for the first episode of 10. But we spent enough time with Damon to know that we’re kindred spirits. The pace of television seems interesting. Ask me in a few months how we feel about it, but right now we’re very excited about it.”

Another project that Ross and Reznor have lined up is the Joe Wright-directed film “Woman in the Window.” That film stars Amy Adams and Gary Oldman and comes from the Golden Globe-nominated director of “Darkest Hour” and “Atonement.”

So, if you’re a fan of Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor’s film work, then you’re in luck. The duo isn’t slowing down anytime soon and it appears there will be plenty of opportunities to hear their music over the next year.
