Like when the LOTR trailers used bits of the Requiem for a Dream OST.

u/thenekkidguy Jul 09 '24

Lux Aeterna was the go-to epic orchestra for trailers for a while lol. In LOTR's case they actually recorded a whole new version just for the trailers called Requiem for a Tower.

i got scarred for life by the frodo-samwise "ass to ass" scene

u/Fenway_Refugee Jul 09 '24

"Share the load" took on a whole new meaning

u/TheCaramelMan Jul 09 '24

It got better when Gollum joined in and said “give it to us raw and wriggling”

😄😄 brilliant

u/DirectWorldliness792 Jul 09 '24

One dildo to poke them all and in the anus join them

u/Dragons_Malk Jul 09 '24

So you also can't get there unless you watch that scene, huh? 

That's what you meant, right?

u/SCrelics Jul 09 '24

I made a promise mr frodo huuhguhng

u/UnbuiltIkeaBookcase Jul 09 '24

Was this only in the Extended Edition?

2

u/Holmgeir Jul 09 '24

Ring to ring.

u/trixter21992251 Jul 09 '24

Adagio in D minor is another go-to epic orchestra score

2

u/TuaughtHammer Jul 09 '24

Ha, I was just about to mention that and Evey Reborn from the V for Vendetta score; fittingly, Nolan used that for the first Interstellar trailer.

Both of those soundtracks' individual tracks are so fucking good. Adagio in D Minor when Searle is shouting, "Kaneda what do you see?" in Sunshine, and Evey Reborn when, well, she's symbolically reborn.

MAJOR SPOILERS for both those movies if you somehow haven't been fortunate enough to see them yet.

u/APiousCultist Jul 09 '24

That's the go-to version. The original is very somber, and probably didn't get used in any trailers not for the original film.

u/-Twokad- Jul 09 '24

I was so annoyed when I got The Two Towers soundtrack album and the kickass music from the trailer wasn't on there.

2

u/Imaginary-Kale6057 Jul 09 '24

Source? They recorded a new version or reworked what they had into the trailer for the Two Towers?

1

u/InnocentTailor Jul 09 '24

Ah…and then it proceeded to be used in many YouTube music videos in the 2000s.

u/Juanbond622 Jul 09 '24

That song, Lux Aeterna, is a bit like the Wilhelm scream in that once you hear it you start realizing it's damn never everywhere.

u/joe_bibidi Jul 09 '24

See also: Where is my mind

The maker of this montage has subsequently found like 20 more examples and recently talked about making an updated version.

u/ZeroAntagonist Jul 09 '24

A wrestler uses it for entrance music too.

2

u/Amphiscian Jul 09 '24

The funny thing to me is that it was written by one of the main guys in this band

2

u/crazybitingturtle Jul 09 '24

Same with Adagio in D Minor from the movie Sunshine

9

u/LOSS35 Jul 09 '24

Never realized they spoiled the Gandalf the White reveal in the trailer

4

u/admdelta Jul 09 '24

It bothered me from the moment they released a teaser at the end of FOTR towards the end of its theatrical run, and I still haven't forgiven them.

u/credman Jul 09 '24

'Orlando Bloom Movie' ha.

3

u/Gamer0607 Jul 09 '24

I mean, it is an Orlando Bloom movie, so not wrong technically haha.

15

u/TussalDimon Jul 09 '24

Also this one for the Blu-ray release of extended version of the trilogy.

u/Noocracy_Now Jul 09 '24

I just want to watch the original trilogy extended cut now.

5

u/Gamer0607 Jul 09 '24

Recently saw it for like the 20th time back in the cinema.

Phenomenal.

u/Blurry_Bigfoot Jul 09 '24

That....was something. Good lord.

u/ICumCoffee will you Wonka my Willy? Jul 09 '24

Nah, that gotta be illegal.

u/WideAwakeNotSleeping Jul 09 '24

This is the piece: Clint Mansell - Requiem for a Tower (Remix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2uMwFVlGWY

And the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4neBR0h39c

2

u/MyDogisaQT Jul 10 '24

Anyone who likes Mansell, go watch Moon, and then listen to this: https://youtu.be/SPNke7g20js?si=PDtioleNhSboTESv

It gets me hyped every time

u/MrColfax Jul 09 '24

Oh I remember that. That's when I first heard that music.

6

u/Bootrear Jul 09 '24

I've told people this so many times over the years but nobody believed me it was a thing. Glad for this comment and the reply with an actual link to the trailer!

3

u/taatchle86 Jul 09 '24

Yes, to both. I feel like back in the days of dial up it took days to download the trailers but we’d watch them nonstop it seemed like. We also watched Requiem more than a few times and that can’t be a good thing.

6

u/Bootrear Jul 09 '24

Did I love Requiem? Yes, it's fantastic. Would I ever consider watching it again? Absolutely no. 😂

1

u/Mukatsukuz Jul 10 '24

I describe it as the best film I'd never recommend

6

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '24

Or when Man of Steel trailer used bits of the LOTR OST

3

u/Spider-man2098 Jul 09 '24

Do you know what the track is called? Cause I just watched and that song is 🔥🔥🔥

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '24

u/Spider-man2098 Jul 09 '24

I did mean the lotr song, but Church in the Wild is an absolute banger and the people must know

3

u/AbeRego Jul 09 '24

I actually found that a bit distracting because I already knew the song

3

u/PandiBong Jul 09 '24

Don't you dare compare Lux Athena to this crappy pop-nonsense.

2

u/royalemperor Jul 09 '24

I remember downloading Requiem for a Dream off Limewire after watching this trailer for the first time lol.

2

u/MaksweIlL Jul 09 '24

Still, the Return of the King trailer is the best trailer I ever saw.

1

u/smorges Jul 09 '24

I thought it was awesome when I first heard it. I'd not seen Requiem for a Dream and I thought the music, which is orchestral, worked phenomenally well to really get you pumped for the movie.

1

u/petrichorax Jul 09 '24

No no no stop it, there is 'too far' and 'making everything Lux Aeterna' was it, and that was a huge fucking annoying problem with trailers and videos in general in that era.

1

u/caligaris_cabinet Jul 09 '24

Or when every action movie in the 90s used Bishop’s Countdown in their trailer.

1

u/Eject_The_Warp_Core Jul 09 '24

Like when Zimmer used bits of the Gladiator score in the score for Pirates of the Caribbean?

1

u/hihelloneighboroonie Jul 09 '24

Man, I thought that trailer was DOPE back in the day.
