Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor and his creative partner Atticus Ross are quickly becoming the hottest composers on the market. However, they had to depart the long-awaited 20th Century Fox film The Woman in the Window.
In a recent interview with Revolver, Reznor revealed that he and Ross bowed out after the films negative test screening reactions, which led to extensive reshoots, and the filming becoming something brand new altogether.
”There’s no animosity on our end. It’s frustrating when you did that much work and it’s gone. And we were proud – and they were proud – of the movie that it was.”
Danny Elfman (Batman, Dumbo) will takeover scoring duties on the project. As for Reznor and Ross, the duo are currently having success with their work on HBO’s Watchmen, and up next will be scoring Pixar’s upcoming film Soul.
Directed by Joe Wright, and based on the on thriller novel of the same name from author A.J. Finn, The Woman in the Window tells the story of Dr. Anna Fox (Amy Adams), a recluse in New York City who drinks her days away alone in her apartment, watching classic films and her neighbors. When the Russells move into the house across the way, Anna sees the ideal family and spies on them, only to witness a shocking event that changes her life.
