Listen To A Preview Of Trent Reznor And Atticus Ross' ‘Gone Girl’ Soundtrack, Plus: New Pics
It was only a few years ago thatTrent ReznorandAtticus Rossbegan composing scores, but already they’ve come to feel like a staple ofDavid Fincher’s films. The dynamic duo are at it again this year withGone Girl, and in keeping with the twisted feel of the movie the first track released from theGone Girlsoundtrack is eerie and kind of off-putting. In a good way.

That’s not exactly a sweet, simple melody, but it seems to suit the tone of the film quite well. In an interview with theWall Street Journal, Reznor recalls the instructions Fincher gave him. “He said, ‘Think about the really terrible music you hear in massage parlors,'” Reznor said. “The way that it artificially tries to make you feel like everything’s OK. And then imagine that sound starting to curdle and unravel.”
Fincher insists that he “said a spa, not a massage parlor!” and explains where he got the inspiration: “I was listening to that calming, placating music and thought, we need to tap into this. The movie is about the facade of the good neighbor, the good Christian, the good wife. So the notion was to start with music that’s attempting to give you a hug.”
