I don't particularly like the fact that it features a song from the previous
This is very common, unfortunately. They probably because a) the soundtrack isn't done yet, or b) they want to keep the soundtrack a secret (since it's a part of the whole movie experience, and they don't want to take away too much of that experience with one ad).
The Attack of the Clones ad has music from Episode I. The most recent add for the Twin Towers (At the end of FotR) has the soundtrack from FotR.
And still, to this day, many action movie ads use the sound track from Aliens (during the part where the Terraforming Plant is exploding); and that song is nearly 16 years old!

yup...but they filmed it at the same time. They are coming out within a couple months of each other...

A trailer that gives away neither plot nor ending, but still makes you want to see the movie.
:)
Shouldn't this be how all trailers are made?
Nope, sorry, this isn't a trailer. As it clearly says when you go to the site, this is a Teaser, which, while similar to a trailer, is not the same as a trailer.
This is the first hype of many and it's supposed to get you excited about the movie. Looks like it worked.
Isn't that just Holst's "Mars", from "The Planets" anyway?

IMHO, some interesting info from netcraft.com:

Assuming the videos are encoded with something "mpeg-like" then the static screens will use up virtually zero bandwidth. They compress by working out deltas from one frame to the next, static image == no differences == perfect compression.

The agency that lined up the people on this is Beau Bonneau casting. If you're in the SF Bay Area and have a flexible work schedule it's worth getting on their list; you have to pay $20 and get your picture taken to be in their database. Just last month they sent out a call for extras to work on some scenes from the forthcoming Incredible Hulk movie.
Your friend must have been called in on a Friday; they only had the lobster and filet mignon on Fridays. Not that the food was bad any other day, mind you.
There were about 50 drivers, and basically our job was to drive alongside or in the opposite lane while they were filming to make it look like real traffic on the highway.
For a few scenes they called in more than a hundred drivers but 50 was about normal.
In the shot where Trinity is driving the Ducati motorbike past a wreck with lots of smoke, police cars and men in orange vests in the background, I'm pretty sure my car is on screen, but it's way on the far right of the shot, just a tiny rectangle next to a police car.
To add the appearance of "realism," there was a highway sign proclaiming, "Palo Alto 7 miles." Palo Alto's about 30 miles from San Francisco. Whatever.
They changed the signs regularly and shot at different angles such that that mile-and-a-half of freeway will look like it was shot all over the Bay Area. All the signs refer to actual places, but the distances are nonsense.
Anyway, the set was really amazing to see, and since it was right next to public property (the local skate park) you could walk out and take pictures of the set, and the various prop cars (including most of the ones in the trailer) parked in the lot around it.
The prop cars usually had the keys left in the ignition. One weekend one of the security guards took a prop car and tried to see how fast he could go, causing an actual crash on that fake freeway. Another some gusty winds caused a section of freeway wall to fall over. Since they didn't have time to fix it, they just parked a truck on the shoulder such that it blocked the camera's view through the hole and shot around it.
