Why the hell did they steal music from Sunshine (2007) and a few others? Not even modified or changed at all!
I know that sometimes previews do this.("The Box" trailer used the "Saw" score for example) But for the feature? Is it that hard to write some original stuff?
-Insert smug pretentious atheism quote here, so you just know how smart and cool I am!
Jon Murphy (the composer you're referring to) made different arrangements of the songs for this movie, but movies have been reusing scores and arrangements for decades, it's nothing new.
Although I admit the first time I watched I was disappointed to hear the music from 28 Days Later during Big Daddy's shootout, now I can't imagine that scene without it. Also, after hearing the different versions back-to-back they do at least have a different 'feel' to them.

Not stolen
shareHappens all the time. A recent movie that I can't remember the name of used the Tron Legacy score which was super noticeable. Heck, compare the music from Dr. Strange to the music from Star Trek 2009.
shareMusicians and composers have a habit of dying poor. They leave quite the music legacy but probably lived a meager life, performed for pennies compared to pop stars. Many die young. This means, that they don't write just or ONE project, the hope is it lives on in some manner and incarnation in other things. IT's not a steal, it's respect.

Ummm, you realize if they had actually 'stolen' the music, they would be sued and have to pay out the ying-yang?
John Murphy owns the music. He can sell it to whoever he likes.
'Sunshine' didn't write that music. They bought it just like 'Kick-Ass' did- from the rightful owner. Legal, 100%.
A version of the song also appears in 28 Weeks Later.
