Hrm... any chance that it's not originally from 28 Days Later. *get this stupid feeling of not knowing something everybody else does*
Movie trailers often borrow tunes from other films. For example, there's a track from Requiem for a Dream that's often used for epic/action movie trailers, including the theatrical trailer for The Two Towers.

Actual soundtracks may vary.

I plan to read Beowulf someday.
However, I'm an historical re-enactor in my free time, and I mainly do 10th century Norse. Film-makers' efforts to represent that culture on-screen usually end up making me cringe.
