Don LaFontaine, famous for doing many movie trailers and making the phrase "In a world.." famous, has died.

Movie trailers will never be the same.

There was a guy doing an act like that on Leno that was hilarious.

I think as a tribute to him Hollywood should henceforth prohibit the phrase 'In a world' from ever being used again in a movie trailer.

sad - In a world guy is now in a pine box guy

In FX we used to always joke about him. We used to say, "In a world... where night is day, and day is night." LOL. Because they always seemed to end up like that.

"In a world where the day blows cold, and the night blows colder..."

RIP Don

I am reluctant to believe user-edited WIKIPEDIA over his own website and/or CNN - neither of which have anything on it.

So many try to copy him and you can always tell it isn't exactly right.

True, I bet I saw more shitty movies because of him. LOL. Movies I'd have never seen, but Don made them sound bad ass.

"In a world where webmasters, believe everything they read..."

According to IMDB, this was his favorite trailer.
