Gears of War & Donnie Darko Music?
Why does this trailer (25 MB H.264 file) for the Xbox 360 game Gears of War feature the music ‘Mad World‘ covered by Michael Andrews & sung by Gary Jules (but originally written by Roland Orzabal of ‘Tears for Fears’), which is most identified as the music from the ending credits of Donnie Darko?
Anyone?
Not that there’s something wrong with it… it the trailer looks fantastic and the music definitely sets the mood, but it still seems like a very odd choice for a trailer.
Update (11/12/06): Kottke, as usual it seems, has more info here.
