Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross To Score 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem'
Confirmed by co-director Jeff Rowe.
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails are set to score the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem film.
The news was announced by Tony Hawk in a recent episode of his Hawk vs. Wolf podcast, with co-director Jeff Rowe eventually taking to Twitter to confirm Hawk’s statement. “Well now that my teenage hero @tonyhawk has leaked that my music heroes are doing this I can add that the score is absolutely AMAZING,” he tweeted. “Exhilarating, terrifying, heartbreaking, full of sounds I didn’t know existed. I don’t have the vocabulary to describe it. I love it so much.”
For those who are confused with Hawk’s connection to the upcoming movie, producer, writer and star Seth Rogen previously appeared on Hawk vs. Wolf and revealed that the Turtles will be skateboarding (just like in the original) and that they wanted to make the music sound like something you’d hear from Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. “It’s like a random assortment of music, kind of, but it all fits together perfectly. It kind of has that same energy and spirit, but it’s like very similar, and there are literally some songs that are from like the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater,” he confirmed.
Mutant Mayhem is co-directed by Rowe and Kyler Spears and will star an A-list cast of Micah Abbey, Shamon Brown Jr., Hannibal Buress, Rose Byrne, Nicolas Cantu, John Cena, Jackie Chan, Ice Cube, Natasia Demetriou, Ayo Edebiri, Giancarlo Esposito, Post Malone, Brady Noon, Rogen, Paul Rudd and Maya Rudolph.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem hits theaters August 2.
