Bet You Didn't Know
Fincher has brought back Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who won Academy Awards for their score for "The Social Network," to write the music for this film. It was the first film score composed by Reznor, the mastermind behind the band Nine Inch Nails, but not his first attempt. He wrote music for the 2002 film "One Hour Photo," but his work was rejected and he was replaced. Reznor reused some of that material for his album "Still."
