Wow... too sad
On another note, the big name movie companies are kinda screwed for a while until they can find someone to fill LaFontaine's shoes.
movie trailers will never be the same...

Don LaFontaine (Movie Trailer Guy) Dead at 68

As many of you know, he was the guy who brought us the voice of all of these amazing movie trailers. Although we may have not enjoyed the movie, we loved to sit in the movie theatre to hear the sound of his voice give a little plot synopsis of the preview.

HERE is an article on it. Rest on, Movie Trailer Guy...
