For the 2010 film '' Inception '' , Zimmer used electronic manipulation of the song " Non , je ne regrette rien " . The horn sound in the score , described by Zimmer as " like huge foghorns over a city " became a popular feature in film trailers . " It 's funny how that sort of thing becomes part of the zeitgeist , " he said . " But I suppose that 's exactly what trailers are looking for : something iconic lasts less than a second , and shakes the seats in the theater . " In 2012 , Zimmer composed and produced the music for the 84th Academy Awards with Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes . He also composed a new version of the theme music for '' ABC World News ''
