In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, the Nine Inch Nails frontman spoke about his recent work with Ross on Fincher's upcoming film Gone Girl, and gave a strange and pretty awesome glimpse into his creative process.

According to Reznor, "[Fincher] said, 'Think about the really terrible music you hear in massage parlors. 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 remembers this conversation a little differently, noting, "I said a spa, not a massage parlor! � 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."
