Atticus Ross’ Shares “Broken City” Soundtrack Inspirations

Composer Atticus Ross is sharing his musical inspiration behind the soundtrack for “Broken City.” Best known for his and Trent Reznor’s Oscar-winning score for “The Social Network” and his masterful work on “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and “The Book of Eli,” Ross has curated a music playlist exclusively for Rdio. This heart-pounding soundtrack draws inspiration from ‘80s glam rock, industrial new wave, and other beloved scores.

“Broken City,” which hits theatres today, follows a disgraced ex-cop turned private detective (Mark Walhberg) who uncovers a much grander scandal when he’s double-crossed by the mayor of New York (Russell Crowe).

Ross takes us along this action-packed journey with music that builds an equally compelling sound narrative, bookending the playlist with David Bowie tracks and sprinkling his own signature haunting sound from the film in between.
