Bill,

That's good to know. I myself noticed that the music from 'Gladiator'
was used for the 'K-19...' trailer. I only noticed it because my
husband and I are big fans of the music from the 'Gladiator' film and
have the sound track. I also pay a lot more attention to music in
movies since this is the field I wish to make a living in.
