The popularity of the piece led to its use in popular culture outside the film, in film and teaser trailers, such as Sunshine[1] and Waking Madison, and multiple remixes and remakes by other producers. It was also used in the 2010 season 2 premiere episode of NCIS: LA and a version of the track was re-orchestrated with a choir and full orchestra for The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers trailer.[2][unreliable source?][3] It was arranged by Simone Benyacar, Daniel Nielsen, and Veigar Margeirsson. The orchestrated version was used in various trailers and video games. Clint Mansell commented that the piece had "gone on to have a life of its own".[4]


Orchestrated version


The orchestrated version was made available as part of the Requiem for a Tower album release from Corner Stone Cues.[5]
