no!!! don lafontaine is gone...

Published Sep. 5, 2008

 I just read that Don LaFontaine passed away.. That's the guy who does the movie previews.. he was on the Gieco commercial.. How can you have a movie and not have him do the preview.. He's been doing them since i can remember.. That is so sad.. He will NEVER be replaced.. He had the greatest voice EVER!! 

 RIP  Don LaFontaine

 

Here is a really good link:

Don set a whole new way of presenting movies. Prior to his thunderous voice it was huge letters flipping up and down and sliding in and out. He put personality in the selling of a movie.

He will be missed.

JOO

Oh darn. He will be missed.

Maybe Michael Buffer could do his eulogy. Another great voice.

Yup; I always though he had no only the coolest voice ever (aside from James Earl Jones) but one of the coolest jobs ever too

RIP

In a world, left without the voice for movie previews....

Oh yeah - put him behind a good mic, crank up the compression and he was good to go. Superb voice talent. He will be missed!

I loved his voice. Sad he's gone.

I wonder if he recorded his own eulogy. I can't imagine anyone doing it better.

great pic

wow - random shout out for the movie trailer dude...
