Did Hans Zimmer at least get an honorable mention?

I noticed in the community board a lot of discussion is noting similarities in the works of Christopher Nolan and this upcoming show but did anyone else notice that not "similarities" but the exact music from "Interstellar" was used and there is no mention of the original composers. Did the sound department and composers for this trailer get permissions or are they intending on playing the main themes of the Dark Knight in here as well? I do not mean to be downing the show, it could be good however, storyline idea similarities aside, this is the exact "Trailer #4 Interstellar" piece. Clearly the minds behind this show are fans of Nolans and Hans work together but... maybe if they openly came out and said "We are huge admirers and this is influenced by "Blank and Blank" I mean... It worked for Stranger Things. They had no trouble giving obvious nods to Stephen King and Stephen Spielberg. Just thought for food if anyone else noticed the soundtrack as well.

Hans Zimmer didn't compose the song that's used in the trailer, Thomas Bergersen composed it. The song is called "Final Frontier."

That would be Steven Spielberg!

You realize that there's absolutely nothing original about Zimmer's music to Interstellar. It sounds like pretty much any other "ambient minimalist". There are tons of far older works, concert music at that, that one could accuse Zimmer of plagiarizing for his own soundtrack.

Just because Zimmer's score is the first place you heard it doesn't mean it originated there. There's very little original in anything Zimmer writes.
