In a live Times Talk with Trent Reznor, the musician confirms he will again be working with director David Fincher and score his upcoming The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo remake, currently set for a December 21 release later this year. Reznor mentioned he and Atticus Ross had been working on the Dragon Tattoo score for the past two months.
Reznor scored Fincher’s The Social Network with Ross and is currently looking at a potential Oscar nomination (if not a win) as a result of the much loved, electronically infused score.
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is based on Stieg Larsson’s internationally best-selling novel and centers on a murder mystery looking as far back as 40 years at the disappearance of Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden’s wealthiest families. All these years later, her aged uncle continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig), a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pierced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara). Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption. Stellan Skarsgard, Robin Wright, Joely Richardson, Steven Berkoff, David Dencik and Christopher Plummer co-star.
I’ve included “Hand Covers Bruise” from Reznor’s Social Network score directly below.
