Movie trailers will never be the same...

Don LaFontaine, the voiceover for almost every movie trailer thus far, has died at 68.

quote
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- U.S. voiceover artist Don LaFontaine has died at the age of 68, his agent said.

FoxNews.com said LaFontaine's memorable voice was heard in thousands of movie trailers, as well as in nearly 350,000 commercials.

The Minnesota native and former recording engineer for the U.S. Army Band and Chorus recently appeared in a Geico Insurance commercial in which he was described as "that announcer guy," the news Web site said.

I bet we will get the guy from Resident Evil. Who always says the name when you load up the game.

No replacement.

They should just splice his words together for all films now.

The Freedom heard when he went to the hospital. Cardiac failure or something like that.

It seems to be an epidemic of well known people dropping dead.

R.I.P. Mr. LaFontaine.

re: Movie trailers will never be the same...

I would like to say that I really don't think anyone can replace him.

That said, they'll have to find someone and that poor guy has gigantic shoes to fill. Of course we all love this guy, but you gotta feel something for the next person.

Whoever he is/will be, people will tear him apart saying he's not like LaFontaine.

James Alexander Gordon (BBC Football) should do it. His voice is amazing.

Also my condolences to his family!

    350,000 Commercials D:? That is a lot for just one person. I actually thought most of the similar voices on TV were different people.. I never knew most were the same person.

TBH, they should just have a woman do it now; be harder for people to give her crap for not living up to expectations.
