Trailer music


I may be alone on this, but I don't care for this new trend of using covers of classic songs in trailers. It's how they do it that bothers me. Have them sing slowly and ominously. It's a bit much IMO.

I don't like it either! It's very hacky. Using classic song covers is lazy. There's nothing admirable or appealing about it. It just shows you don't know how to create ur own music. Every time I hear a classic song turned into a cover for a stupid tv show or movie, I immediately shut it off.

Filmmaking is about coming up with your own ideas and creating something NEW AND ORIGINAL! Not taking/stealing/borrowing someone else's idea or work and then slapping your name on it as if you came up with it. ENOUGH ALREADY!
