Sadly, the king of trailer narration has left us at age 89.
Rest in peace, mr. Douglas. You and your awesome voice will be missed...

Oh, man, that sucks. Yeah, I always wondered who that guy was who sometimes narrated trailers. He'll be missed and there will never be another one like him.

Definitely a most recognizable voice over the years, he sure knew how to make an upcoming flick seem thrilling and add to viewers' enthusiasm for it, RIP Hal Douglas

There was another great trailer narrator by the name of Don LaFontaine.

Sadly he passed away in 2008.

Now with the passing of Hal Douglas, it's really the end of an era for movie trailers...

Here's another great trailer narrated by Hal Douglas- the one for Forrest Gump. It features Randy Edelman's awesome music from the 1993 movie 'Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story'...

Aww man, movies trailers will never be the same again. I hope the world forgets Hal Douglas.

I had no idea Don LaFontaine passed away too, goes to show you how often I watch new movies. I'll always remember Don mostly for this awesome commercial:
