(The same music was used in the final theatrical trailer and various tv spots).<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The Two Towers&#8217; trailer then used another original reorchestration, this time by Dan Nielsen based on Clint Mansell&#8217;s &#8220;Requiem for a Dream&#8221; score.<!--\n\n<p>Both cues were assembled by Magic Box, a trailer music production company responsible for the music on dozens of major film campaigns including A Beautiful Mind, The Matrix Reloaded, Harry Potter, Insomnia and Terminator3.\n\n<p>Now, could we have already found the music for the (upcoming) 'Return of the King' trailer before we see it in theatres? In the Audio Samples section provided on Magic Box's website, there are two new tracks available for listening with explicit references to LOTR: \"Sauron's Grip\" and \"Sorcereor's Secret\".
