What is this music?

Does anyone know what the piece of music in this trailer for the film Children of Men is? It starts at around 1:40 minutes, and it's been driving me nuts. Is it from a song or something?

Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros

EDIT - Great song.

It is a great song, though it's now on about 1000000 ads and trailers etc as background music.

This movie is clearly based on Edge of Sanity's songs Crimson and Crimson II
Haven't seen the movie though, just going by the trailer and what imdb said when I looked it up earlier.

And Sigur Rós are win.

The movie is based on a book written in 1992. As the albums of those particular songs were produced and released in 1996 and 2003, respectively, it is clearly impossible for your statement to be in any way correct.

As far as the movie goes, I just watched the trailer and it looks like it could be very interesting. I liked Prisoner of Azkaban well enough but I would probably go to see it because Clive Owen, Chiwetel Eijofor, and Michael Caine. They are all extraordinary actors. Especially Eijofor.

It's not like I actually believed that anyone who made a movie would have any clue who Dan Swanö is. It's just that I noticed clear similarities between the stories.
