What's that music in this trailer?
Oftentimes, when the original music for a film has not been composed yet, the filmmakers or marketing people use music from other movies for their trailers. A list of which music was used for which movie can be found here. They also have a listing of studio logo music and who composed it, along with some QuickTime files to listen to. Amazing feature.
Sometimes, original music is composed specifically for a trailer. The man to do this is John Beal. There is a fantastic double CD out with original music, composed specifically for trailers that is not available anywhere else. Check it out, you won't regret it.
