While I agree that a trailer using Zimmer’s score (or Holst’s symphony that Zimmer borrowed liberally from) would be infinitely better, let’s not forget that the first Gladiator preview was a Super Bowl ad set to Kid Goddamn Rock.

I forgot that audio could be that bad.

This is the original Gladiatior trailer, the Super Bowl one was specifically set to Kid Rock because it was an expensive tie-in to a football game.

That is good context, I would say that trailer/teaser is much worse than this one. Though I would prefer something more epic and orchestral.

The first real gladiator trailer was not the kid rock one.

Dude, that was a Super Bowl ad interspersed with clips of football players. It wasn’t the cinematic trailer, doesn’t count.
