[Embraer]

Well, today, the movie voice guy weve all heard, sadly died today:sad:. Youve all heard him, just watch the link.

YouTube - Voice Over by Don LaFontaine

So, yea... A sad day for movie trailors.

 

[chevre]

Yeah, just heard about that a few hours ago. Bummer! He seems like he was a pretty cool guy and movie trailers certainly won't be the same without him.

 

[Boogeyman]

Wow.... Horror will never be the same.

 

[Pojo]

Have there actually been any movie trailers with him talking anytime recently? I don't remember hearing any with him anytime recently

LaFontaine was admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California with a blood clot in his lungs on August 22, 2008, and was reported as being in critical condition the following Tuesday. His family made a public appeal on the Mediabistro.com site.[7] LaFontaine died September 1, 2008 following complications from pneumothorax

Omg, I can't believe it :sad:
Movie trailers will never be the same.....

[Maverick]

Wow, that's a shame. He had such a cool voice. Sorry to see him go. :frown:

 

[Mysterious]

Awww... That guy was cool, it was a standard to hear that voice, and it was just perfect for it. Now that I've heard him, nothing will ever come close probably. Well, may he rest in peace, he shall be missed.

 

[Fire2box]

Its sad to see such a fun guy die.

 

[kite]

i was just thinking, did he have another close friend/voice over guy do his funeral?
"From the writers of 'Born Don LaFontaine' bring you the epic blockbuster this summer *insert overly explosive/dramatic effects here*
'Death of LaFontaine *insert redramatized clips of his life with upbeat, cresendo'd music here*"
... and then some other writer later on could either redo it or turn it into an untimely sequel.
