Nine Inch Nails Score New 'Tron' Movie

'Tron: Ares' will mark the first film scored by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross's band proper, and feature the first new NIN songs since 2020

Ghosts V: Together and Ghosts VI: Locusts. The announcement was reportedly preceded by a trailer, not yet made public, that featured the band's 1989 Pretty Hate Machine track "Something I Can Never Have."

Tron: Ares — the third film in the series and follow-up to 2010's Tron: Legacy, scored by Daft Punk — is directed by Joachim Rønning and stars Jeff Bridges, Jared Leto, Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, Gillian Anderson and Sarah Desjardins.

When Reznor and Ross appeared on the cover of GQ back in April, they mentioned a few movies among their laundry list of current projects: Challengers director Luca Guadagnino's erotic film, Queer, as well as Scott Derrickson's sci-fi feature The Gorge and an unnamed film by horror legend Mike Flanagan; which is all to say that their work on Tron: Ares was obviously being kept under wraps, so who knows what else they're scheming in secret.
