It is used at the both the beginning of the faux trailer Grayson by Untamed Cinema [TheForce.Net - Fan Films - TFN FanFilms | Non-Star Wars | Grayson](http://theforce.net/fanfilms/nonsw/grayson/index.asp)

and in How Halo Reach Should Have Ended [http://www.howitshouldhaveended.com/videos](http://www.howitshouldhaveended.com/videos)

I don’t know if the music was originally intended for film or not.

I think it is from [The Spirits Within](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UQYE7V_oiQ&feature=related) by Elliott Goldenthal. At the 30 second mark it sounds like they edited it a bit from “The Matrix.” (The last half of the trailer is “[Neodammerung](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk3KGHlCD1g)” from “The Matrix Revolutions.”)

Is that fake movie or a real low budget movie?

It’s a fake. that is, it is a fan-made trailer to a non-existent movie.
