Nobody really talks about this, which is interesting given that the music is such an important part of a film like this. I think his style suits The Dark Tower, he mixes synthesisers with orchestral stuff and I think that approach works here.

He's actually been brought up here a couple of times in the past. Have you heard the bit he posted on twitter thats supposed to be for The Dark Tower?

I heard it, yeah! Ominous.
Yeah he seems like a good choice. Mad Max's score was a great mix of synthesisers and orchestral stuff and that approach seems like a good one here.

It makes the appearance that the music Junkie XL posted on October 19th isn't for "The Dark Tower" after all. I just watched the trailer to "In Between Dreams" (which he also scored) and that music pops up in the very beginning of it.

It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing .

I just checked out the Distance Between Dreams trailer to see for myself, and the music in the 9/19 clip compared to the music in the trailer does seem to be in the same key. But interestingly enough, I noticed that the music in the 9/19 clip had kind of a "rolling" bass line and featured horns while the music in the trailer didn't have either of those things. It's definitely possible that him posting that clip on the 19th was a huge coincidence and the music is actually for Distance Between Dreams, but I'm not ruling out that clip being part of The Dark Tower's score just yet. share
I'm not ruling it out either. But to me, the part in the trailer 00:04 - 00:10 sounds exactly like the bit from the 09/19 clip, right in the beginning (00:00 - 00:10).
Or am I crazy? I only noticed because it reminds me of one of the tracks on the Broken Arrow soundtrack (Hans Zimmer). Now that I think of that, didn't Zimmer and Junkie XL collaborate on the Batman vs. Superman OST ?

You're right - the music from the trailer does sound very similar to the first 2 seconds of the 9/19 clip (after the first 2 seconds of the 9/19 clip, the "rolling" bass line and horns come in), and I'm sure they're in the exact same key. Although, I think I found the exact chord I heard in the trailer in a related "behind the scenes" video that popped up after I watched it. Here, from 0:07 - 0:10, is a chord with the same "buzzing synth" sound as the 0:04 - 0:10 part of the trailer.

Also of note, in this related video, I didn't hear any horns or "rolling" bass lines in any of music featured. But considering the obvious similarities between the two, I wouldn't rule it out for either movie.
And yes! Hans Zimmer and Junkie XL did collaborate for the Batman v. Superman score. It'll be interesting to hear how the scores for the rest of the upcoming DC movies turn out since I read that Zimmer said he won't be composing for superhero films anymore.
