Need some help - John Wick 2

So, I'm part of the marketing for the new John Wick movie and I'm looking for a cool / hip / badass song for the first theatrical trailer.
The teaser debuted today.

I'm having some trouble finding the right song for the trailer. Not sure about the teaser direction - it sort of works, but that tone / musical style won't work for the full trailer.

Gimme some cool song suggestions! Something you'd like to hear in the John Wick 2 trailer.

Naruto - The Raising Fighting Spirit

Sexualizer

street sects - dissappering infamy or black din or nostalgia

literally this

soundcloud.com/foozool/apre

Gotta say - this is fucking awesome, but would feel out a place in a trailer for a film that takes place in NY and Rome. But this song is going into something. Thanks for this.

youtube.com/watch?v=TChjUJ3ev2w

Those drums are awesome.

youtube.com/watch?v=6ZqaXHSE7gY

Hotline Miami 1 and 2 OST

This.

I mentioned this in the last thread - that marilyn manson tune that would play for every other scene in the original already works pretty well as a franchise theme song. It just needs a more dramatic rendition in the sequel's trailer for hype purposes
youtube.com/watch?v=34jC1fmeFD0

I'LL KEEP COMING

Man, I fucking wish we could use it.
We were with Manson a few weeks ago and he was plugging that song for the JW2 trailer, but the studio has heard it to death and will inevitably say "we want something new!"

manson x death grips right here

What about some Pertubator op?

youtu.be/oTN6cGmH2yM

When the announcement peek dropped I thought you guys were gonna go with Dies Irae - Mad Max did amazingly with it for their teaser

Justice - Safe and Sound would be the perfect song

youtube.com/watch?v=vfYux8HGylg

youtube.com/watch?v=DR0fl5fgTDg

Gotham's Reckoning - Hans Zimmer (The Dark Knight Rises OST)

this
synthwave is objectively the most tonally/aesthetically compatible music genre with John Wick

Electronic body music or edm

Nitzer ebb might work

Genesis would be more fitting IMO

youtube.com/watch?v=VKzWLUQizz8

why are spics always obese

John Wick felt like Hotline Miami so you could try something more like what he meant youtube.com/watch?v=gHAgXJhG4-o

who let the dogs out

Lol
Nice.

This would cause some positivity in Cred Forums (One of the biggest board on Cred Forums) and on Reddit. They love having 2 of their favorite things togheter. See The Passengers

>Posting the best song from HM2

underrated post

Try this instead
youtube.com/watch?v=bxWxXncl53U

The reason I don't recommend something from M|O|O|N form HM1 because those are literally one with HM. This on the other hand feels like could applied to a lot of movie like Neon Demon, Driver or in this case, John Wick

all of Cred Forums and the internet agrees this song is badass

youtube.com/watch?v=lsV500W4BHU

correct answer

oh shit, meme magic wills it OP

youtube.com/watch?v=A51nLFYhX8E

this shit is pretty underground, i shouldn't really be telling you about it

This seems nice but what if the Studio wants to have an uplifting montage?

youtube.com/watch?v=WXrdYwG17PE

Whats your date release OP?

For Whom the Bell Tolls by Metallica

February.
Long way off.

Drude Sandstorm

youtube.com/watch?v=nlW-WF9F0Es

I think this is pretty cool

If the movie is already "Matrix: The Reference" than you may use this song

youtube.com/watch?v=Fg_6fjpxzVI

The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance.

I think this could make a great smooth trailer- check out the second verse where the accordion kicks in.

youtube.com/watch?v=kg7x7d9lFYg

fits the mindset of john wick pretty well

youtube.com/watch?v=mDavRrd_62c

youtube.com/watch?v=0J2QdDbelmY

Literally the perfect song for John Wick

Foo Fighters - The Best of You.

hello underage

Darude sandstorm

Literally the most overused song in the world

good but too cliche

if you're gonna do white stripes do black math

youtube.com/watch?v=-VfnSZt-5pw

...

Tsingis Khan by Frederick.

This is the the one man band guy

This is used in everything!
I like the song, but it's *too* recognizable at this point.

Herman's Hermits- no milk today.

this is ok but what do you mean by mindset
like atmosphere or jw's actually worldview

This was in the first trailer:

youtube.com/watch?v=Xy_eAqPgC3o

Something kinda like this would be ideal.

Throat full of glass-combichrist

just put some WUB WUB WUB over it and call it a day

twitter.com/loliconder/status/784920570840219648

>Dat Bass at the beginning

How about this?
youtube.com/watch?v=KsxZMVid1MY

John Wick and Synthwave would be so awesome
My suggestion:
youtube.com/watch?v=wy9r2qeouiQ

A little too happy.
I dig the track, though. I can totally see this in an action-comedy film. Something maybe with Kingsman-style violence or something.

Perfect bait.

second

dancewiththedead.bandcamp.com/album/near-dark

X Gon' give it to ya

Let the bodies hit the floor

Pumped up kicks

youtube.com/watch?v=D-LooQf9-2k

if I hear this song during a joch wick trailer I will shit my pants

this song fits the character senpai

youtube.com/watch?v=3mQiN2hqxGU

Correction: dancewiththedead.bandcamp.com/track/near-dark

maybe something by queen to appeal to keanu loving fags but remixed to appeal to core audience of 12-15yo boys?

youtube.com/watch?v=iigmNuZRlqU&ab_channel=CapturedTracks

youtube.com/watch?v=aqXW57WM9TA

Song has been used a lot lately tho.

That was up for consideration, but we felt the same way - it was used so much people would disregard the trailer. It'd have a "generic" feel.
Same with 7 Nation Army.

youtube.com/watch?v=ZXhuso4OTG4

This is literally perfect, it's dadrock, it's about a hitman being found, it packs a punch, etc... etc...

You're welcome, OP

youtube.com/watch?v=CIpyBeBpC74
Very urban

Holy shit Keanu looks weird in that picture.

youtube.com/watch?v=kKv_eZwJh34

>inb4 blade 2

I also recommend Carpenter Brut. Try Roller Mobster.

Fucc yea my dude, good taste

youtube.com/watch?v=Byp_asbRaTo

Don't care if it's in the trailer just puh-fucking-LEASE put this song in this movie's club shootout

youtube.com/watch?v=DpRUKLKCY-w

need to comfort eat from all getting molested as children

>implying a trailer editor can just ask what random song to use and wouldnt be told what to use by a lawyer based on what they can afford the rights to

Nope. Doesn't work like that, actually.
The studio just buys the rights for the song to use for that specific campaign.
It's expensive af, but we're talking about studios that rake in millions upon millions.
A couple hundred grand for a song is nothing.

Don't 404!

can someone screen this thread, and post again when the trailer comes up so we see if he indeed used a song from this post?

So far none of these work.
Which is a bummer.

I'm signing off for now. These songs might show up in other campaigns, but this one has been a really tough nut to crack. This thread provided some direction, but so far no cigar. Which is not a big deal.
This is a difficult thing - music makes a trailer.

youtube.com/watch?v=YNKa3l9R3ZI

youtube.com/watch?v=xllG3fSUAOw

youtu.be/sxXRcWkoTTI Would make for a surreal club shootout.

This video is sick.

This was probably all a meme wasn't it

Carpenter Brut

Not bad

I loved Think by Kaleida in the first JW

youtube.com/watch?v=RY66fdMt4vc

youtu.be/2_NgkfRmUPk?t=35

Think about that matching up with him shooting during the trailer.

Try this

youtube.com/watch?v=cvDEpgH02nI&index=11&list=PL6JScATTuLi4FfKg6T_NdGrIXoLR5mFRB

This honestly OP, it perfectly fits John Wick being such a based Baga yaga

...

a little to hip

if this song doesn't get you hype
I don't know what will

youtube.com/watch?v=LVyGxlgeAjc

This is adam sandler tier at this point.

Fpbp

youtube.com/watch?v=d9994nv8BcU

I don't really care what your thread is about, OP. You just inspired to put on John Wick as my "fall to sleep to" movie though.

You missed the boat long ago for a trailer song. You could never get the licensensing in order in such a short time, or edit a good enough trailer in such little time

Unironically this
action scene + no sound effects + slow mournful song is a patrician trope

Could be a problem getting the rights, but would be THE. SHIT.

alternatively, just ask whoever came up wit kaleida - think for the club scene because that guy is a genius

This isnt how trailer songs get chosen. In the film/advertising industry you'd just get passive aggressive emails in outlook if you wanted to pick p much any of these.

Destinations or Hate or Glory would fit perfectly

This is the only choice.
It will help you get mileage from the cinematography and lighting in the film, as well as allow for a possible trailer with very little dialogue/excess sound.

youtube.com/watch?v=hldfIKR9I7I

Baal's Back

Not if they pick this one.
It's fucking Tangerine Dream.

youtu.be/9f3McqctPSA

Literally anything by Rage Against the Machine. "Killing in the Name" comes to mind.

Or slow it way down. "21 Guns" for drama, or Backstreet Boys because they're back, alright?

>So, I'm part of the marketing for the new John Wick movie and I'm looking for a cool / hip / badass song for the first theatrical trailer.
>132 posts and 15 image replies omitted.

Studios don't want some cool obscure song, they want a new(ish) song they can also sell. It's called synergy.

There is clearly only once choice, as it also adds to the target audience of the movie.

youtube.com/watch?v=QcIy9NiNbmo

We're using Baal's Back. Thanks, user!

John Wick - Migos, maybe for a 30 second spot
Or maybe some Highly Suspect. The hook for My Name is Human is pretty decent. 23 and bloodfeather are decent candidates as well.
I know hip hop doesn't really blend well with John Wick

good shit

>the best song from HM2
>not Roller Mobster
You're wrong.

>Not le Perv
Fucking normies

youtu.be/UqLRqzTp6Rk

Yes

anything by these guys

this

youtu.be/r9tbu6a6KJU

I like this one myself

Anything from Glitch Mob. Probably "Can't Kill Us" would be a good one

good song but they used it in the trailer for sin city 2

Was just about to post this. perfect

Are you retarded? It takes us literally a few days to get clearance. It's really not that difficult...

go with some IAMX

youtube.com/watch?v=KKLveGjeKu8

Guns. Guns. Guns.

Fire. Fire. FIRE.

>Something you'd like to hear in the John Wick 2 trailer.

Here it comes. The best possible theme song.

youtube.com/watch?v=qyPhsFxnc_c

I know it's late in the thread, but this song would be really great matched to slowly panning out close up of Keanu getting a suit, intercut with muted action. Then slowly pulling out from that close up, then the guns slide into shot from all sides of the frame.

saving this thread. Will look forward to seeing the theatrical trailer. Hope someone's suggestion make it!

I need to throw in my own genre suggestion as well. I'm backing up everyone's synthwave sentiment. it is the best.

John Wick already works with Hotline Miami soundtrack as is.
Generally Perbulator or Carpenter Brut will suit it perfectly.

This wont happen but man. Itd be insane if it could

I don't know how long your trailer is

But you can edit the beginning part to build the hype

Then cut to the drop when the trailer shows shit hitting the fan

This track is one of the best tracks of all time imho

youtu.be/gKUz225bCV4?list=LLxxIaHBmX4TYF6RtjmWhExQ
here

The first instrumental part would fit really well with an action-packed trailer

Thanks for this gr8 song my nigga

Mars Volta ruled

reminds me of receiver at the start

link? I love Australian sampling being an aussie muhself

receiver the game, because of the chanting and melancholic ambiance

youtube.com/watch?v=g2AXXPiT3Ls

kinda reminds me of this as well

I thought the music in the teaser trailer was disappointing. It was pretty generic and I think John Wick is a little 2cool for that kind of music.

Loved the music from John Wick 1 trailers, really got you pumped as hell. I don't really know what song would be good. But I think it has to fit the stylish vibe of John Wick. He's more Hellboy than John Mcclane, he has this "lager than life" aspect to him.

i dont play games senpai

this song is nice though

Cred Forums better than Cred Forums. God job guys.

why not go for Prodigy?

youtu.be/mRjkqW9sIXk

youtube.com/watch?v=Zo1naJEacE8

I like juxtaposition, combined with the millenials going crazy for the sound of silence at the moment, I think this song and it's recognisable chorus could be interesting

Marilyn Manson - Deep Six

Nutshack theme.

Just do whatever the others are doing, either put some hip hop Kanye West shit or a song from The Heavy and you're done.

Also, I hope the trailer lied and we won't get Wick standing few feet away from people who don't shoot him.

... this doesnt fit at all, the fuck, this is like some Louisiana bayou folk shit

>not sexualizer

too upbeat and happy imo.

I mean what is John Wick 2 about? Where is it set and what is the theme of the movie?

Thanks again for the help!

Seeing as there's some familiar faces in this movie, and this particular song is badass as it is, I think it would make a GREAT trailer song if the trailer fits it well enough. Hype this shit up!
