I couldn't let this go unturned here at Doomworld. The man who has done over 5,000 movie trailers has died at 68.

[Bashe]

Oh my god...is this seriously happening?

Fuck...R.I.P. His grand voice will be missed.

[Bank]

No...this is just awful. I can't believe it.

[Enjay]

I can believe it. No one lives forever.

[LaFontaine]...but now he will have to make one last journey, where he will discover the true meaning of life.[/LaFontaine]

Definitely the end of an era.

[VileSlay]

in a world where movie trailers will be less intersting...

r.i.p. don.

[Cardboard Marty]

This is horrible. This completely blows.

R.I.P. Don LaFontaine.

[MasterOFDeath]

...:(

R.I.P. All he did were movie trailers but its hard to imagine it without him now.

[Use]

Shitty. He did the narration in Powerslave on Saturn (not sure about other versions), before he was everywhere.

[lupinx-Kassman]

Damn. :(

actually he had his own production company and did writing before the whole voiceover thing snowballed.

[Enjay]

It is quite bizarre and fascinating that so many movies, games, TV shows, whatever were all trailered by the same guy. I wonder how it got to the point where people simply didn't call anyone else and LaFontaine just became the automatic choice for most trailers?

[Nightmare Doom]

I guess we found a guy who can replace him...

[Adam3]

Damn, he made trailers seem so epic too... :(

[alexz721]

A death 68 years in the making...

[Coopersville]

I never looked up who the voice was for all those trailers and such. I guess I've cofused him for Keith David a few times, too.

Anyway, gg, Don.
