Who is that guy that seems to always narrarate trailers?
 

Anybody know who that is? Seems like every trailer for every movie you see has that same guy talking...Just wondering who he is.

Check out the "Comedian" trailer. :)

for some reason I pictured Don LaFontaine being younger...

"In a world...

The theatrical trailer for "Gods and Generals" always amused me, because the voice is saying the exact type of cliches mocked in the "Comedian" trailer.

Sounds like Optimus Prime.

whats his name? they call him jack but thats it and its not that don LaFontaine guy

Yeah, theres another voice that does a lot of movie trailers (I THINK its a different voice). I cant think of any off the top of my head that hes done, though I THINK Life is Beautiful is one of them. Whats that guys name?

For us, who are "DVD connessieurs," I think WE know the value of the trailer. We often balk when a DVD package has the most inane special features but no trailer.

I remember a time way back when you couldn't just download the lastest trailer. You had to go to the theater to see them. But I have always loved them.

Anyone remember their first trailer? For me, it was the original "Blues Brothers." I saw that right before I saw my first movie, "Star Wars." :)

Just did more research and the guy in the Comedian trailer is Hal Douglas, the voice of A&E and other trailers.

:lol:

60 minutes did a piece on Don LaFontaine a few years ago. From what I remember, he usually only does 1 take for each trailer, because he gets it right the first time all of the time.

I remember a time way back when you could download the latest trailer and easily save it to your harddrive without having to jump through hoops to find the address of the actual MOV. -rolleyes-

Don LaFontaine and Hal Douglas in the same room trying to read that Comedian promo would be hilarious. They sound almost exactly alike. I guess the difference is that Don LaFontaine is out of NY and Hal Douglas is out of LA.

Years ago, blockbuster had a commerical featuring one of these guys. It was pretty funny actually.

"I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake, now it's time to erase that mistake."

The guy who played Bob Morton (Miguel Ferrer) from Robocop does alot of the movie trailers.

Hollywood, actually. The CSR produced him (or a soundalike) from under the desk when asked "So what's Scream 2 about?".
