In a World Where Movie Trailers Just Got a Little Less Interesting
Or
In a World Where Don LaFontaine is Dead
(Props to Don)
Or
Voiceover and Out
(Additional Accolades for Don)
Don LaFontaine, the ominous Voice of God on more than 5,000 movie trailers, has died of complications from a collapsed lung at the age of 68. Often opening with his oft-parodied catchphrase, “In a world where…” he was one of the most recognizable voices in the movies, peppering many of his voice-overs with such sound bites as “a one-man army,” “one man, one destiny,” “from the bedroom to the boardroom,” and “nowhere to run, nowhere to hide and no way out.” LaFontaine’s ability to talk into a microphone made him a millionaire, and for the last few decades, he did all of his recordings at a studio in his palatial estate in the Hollywood Hills.
