When releasing a film to the public, the film's score is usually the very last thing to be completed. This means that there will be enough finished scenes to make a trailer, but no soundtrack yet. What's a studio to do? Slap in some music from another film, stock music, or even a pop song, that evokes the general mood they're going for, that's what. The first film of a franchise is most likely to use this trope, whereas trailers for future films tend to reuse music from the previous ones. For example, most Star Wars trailers after A New Hope used portions of John Williams' score for that film, whereas the original trailer for A New Hope used stock music! Once the score is completed, the studio might release a new batch of trailers using the film's own music. Alternatively, if a new film is from the same creative team or production company behind a recent hit, the music might be excerpted from the hit's soundtrack, as when an instrumental version of "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast underscored TV ads for Pocahontas, for instance. By The New '10s, this trope became a Discredited Trope as more and more trailers began to use popular and/or licensed stock library music. Even franchises used new arrangements of their established themes instead of recycling the same tracks. Licensed music made entirely for trailers by groups like Two Steps from Hell and used to advertise several unrelated products is not an example of this trope as that's just stock library music. Also not part of this trope are classical compositions or songs initially released as just... well, music, take those examples to Standard Snippet and/or Stock Trailer Music. |

Aversion: the first trailer for The Phantom of the Opera (2004) used a churning, string-section-heavy part of the actual score (though that may have been a different recording than the one used in the film), followed by a small snippet of Gerard Butler singing "The Music of the Night". The trailers for the DVD version, oddly, still contained the score, but little to no singing (similar to the Sweeney Todd example above), except the narration still called it "Andrew Lloyd Webber's triumphant musical"! | |

Both The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, with soundtracks by Howard Shore, invert this: The Return of the King starts with shortened versions of the themes Breath of Life and The Last March of the Ents from The Two Towers, and then switches to music recorded especially for the trailer. This music ends in an epic version of the Gondor theme that sounds suspiciously similar to the scene where Gandalf rides through Minas Tirith. As for An Unexpected Journey, it starts with a variation on the Shire theme (maybe used in the movie, but not present in the OST), before we're treated to the Dwarves' Misty Mountains song. But after that we hear the exact same score as in the scene where the party leaves Rivendell, though with a different instrumentation. |

Edward Scissorhands - Danny Elfman said, as part of a commentary track for the DVD, that every now and again his friends will call up and say "Edward's back!" when some trailer uses its music. The first one that did, specifically using the cue "The Grand Finale", was most likely 1993's The Secret Garden. The score is also frequently imitated in ads for other companies - indeed, if any ad's BGM involves an slightly spooky Cherubic Choir, it's probably an imitation of this score. | |

A trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass used an orchestral version of the Dark World music from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. The music doesn't appear in the finished product. |

The Dead Ringers trailer not only mentioned that it was from the director of The Fly (1986) but also used four of the earlier movie's score cues (in order: "Steak Montage", "Seth Goes Through", "The Armwrestle", and "The Phone Call"). Howard Shore scored both, so this was even more apt. Another cue ("Plasma Pool") was incorporated into both the teaser and trailer for The Fly II (which as a B-Team Sequel had a different composer), meaning this score was used three times in a twelve-month span. | |

The trailer for Star Trek: The Motion Picture used excerpts from John Williams' soundtrack for the film adaptation of Black Sunday. Subsequent Original Series and Next Generation films would recycle music from previous films in the series (with the first two TNG films' trailers also using excerpts from the TNG main theme, itself a re-orchestration of the TOS and TMP themes). Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country avoided this by just using their own scores in their trailers, while Star Trek: Nemesis avoided using Star Trek music in its trailer at all, instead throwing a snippet from Planet of the Apes (2001) in with some Stock Trailer Music. |

One trailer for Far Cry 2 used a fast-paced, techno "battle" piece over a series of explosions and battle scenes. The melody, however, was not from the first or second Far Cry games, but was, in fact, the mini boss battle theme "Fear the Reaper" from Beyond Good & Evil. | |

The "Flying" theme from the '03 Peter Pan is used in children's fantasy-adventure trailers almost as much as "What's This". That movie's trailer used The Crystal Chamber from Atlantis: The Lost Empire, which was also from James Newton Howard.

In the previews for the movie No Reservations (2007), part of the music used consisted of the ending credits music from A Series of Unfortunate Events. Its own trailers were using music from Paramount's The Addams Family films. And some trailers for A Series Of Unfortunate Events used the Edward Scissorhands theme! The first trailer for Burton's Alice in Wonderland used music from A Series of Unfortunate Events — the cycle is complete. Naturally Corpse Bride also used music from A Series of Unfortunate Events. | |
