A lot of downtempo stuff is promoted as "cinematic" music so it kind of
makes sense that it would get used in movies. Movie soundtracks (especially
the works of John Barry, Lalo Schifrin and Morricone) are an inspiration for
a lot of downtempo artists so it makes sense that a lot of downtempo tracks
would turn out "cinematic".

However, in Australia I would say jungle/drum & bass or big beat are the
preferred choice of advertising executives for "trendyprods".
