10 Replacements for Don Lafontaine In Movie Trailers

With his passing however, the movie trailer world is left without a distinctive, charasmatic, unique voice to overdramatize the action, drama, and intensity that draws in movie-goers and makes us want to see the advertised movie. We decided to have a look at other distinctive voices that could possibly fill in until the next big movie-trailer voice is found... we'll tell you where you know them from, and give you a sample of their audition tape.

 

The sample audition:

 

 

You know him as the intense, loud mouthed, no nonsense tough guy from movies such as Pulp Fiction, Shaft, Snakes on a Plane, and the upcoming Christmas movie, The Spirit.

 

 

 

You know him as the gravely voiced anti-hero Riddick in Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick, as well as the recently released sci-fi actioner Babylon A.D.

 

 

You know him best as the voice for Darth Vader, Mufasa from the Lion King, and the CNN ads... his voice is one of the most recognizable in voice-over work.

 

 

 

You know him best as Jack Bauer from 24, but also as the creepy voice from the movie Phone Booth.

 

 

 

You know him best from Arrested Development, and from last year's comedy smash hit Blades of Glory.

Audition: 

 

"In a world, where, you know, things happen and can't be explained except by chaos theory, which isn't really chaotic when you think about it, but that's how it all works, y'see, it's one of those things that makes perfect sense in its lack of sense...just like when i stepped into that chamber to test out my teleportation device but instead turned into a hideous fly-human hybrid that had to be killed...or when I returned to...you know...fight dinosaurs on that island and determined that nature would find a way to help the dinosaur abominations we made reproduce by...um...the frog DNA they used to uh, bridge the gap in the DNA sequencing...so...you know, it's like...insane how that all works..." (goes on for 13 more minutes)
