TRAILER

from a Portuguese Tv spot

In the history of cinema, there may be no one as ubiquitous, and yet as anonymous, as Don LaFontaine. More commonly known as “the trailer guy,” he’s the owner of the omnipresent voice featured in seemingly every film preview in the last 40 years, the man whose rich baritone has made “in a world…” part of the pop culture lexicon.

“From 1964 until now, I’ve been involved in about 5,000 [movie] trailers and have voiced about 3,500 of them”Having recently starred in a Geico commercial, where he dramatizes the tale of an everyday insurance customer, LaFontaine has finally come out from behind the mic, and in the process has added to his particular brand of celebrity. Radar caught up with the King of the Voice-over to ask what it’s like, after all these years, to finally get noticed.

i’ll have to find a new tag for this, maybe ‘backstage stuff’ or something. pretty interesting, actually.

written and directed by Edward D. Wood Jr [from PLAN 9 FOM OUTER SPACE].

FULL MOVIE:

“Upon discovering the suicide of a known transvestite, the police inspector seeks enlightenment from a psychiatrist familiar with the phenomenom. The psychiatrist tells him two tales. Glen is to be married to Barbara, but must find a way to tell her of his desire to wear her angora sweater, and of his cross-dressing needs in general. Another is the story of Alan, who decides to physically become a female via surgery (based on the contemporary story of Christine Jorgensen). Throughout the film a scientist inanely babbles about life and death in order to somehow elucidate the story.”
