Production

[edit]

The soundtrack was created in a collaborative project by several well-known international artists,[4] all of whom had previously been known for their work and many awards received: the American musician Trent Reznor, the English musician Atticus Ross, who formed together the band How to Destroy Angels, collaborated on several Nine Inch Nails albums and scores for films. The pair were awarded the Academy Award for Best Original Score for their work on David Fincher's The Social Network in 2011.[5] Among other musicians involved in this project are the Scottish post-rock band Mogwai, who have produced music for movies before (Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait,[6] the French TV series The Returned[7] and the documentary film Atomic, Living in Dread and Promise[8]) and Gustavo Santaolalla, an Argentine musician, film composer and producer who has won two Academy Awards for Best Original Score for Brokeback Mountain in 2005,[9] and Babel in 2006.[10]
