The voice of pretty much every movie trailer we’ve ever seen has passed away at the age of 68 on Monday.

Don LaFontaine, who’s voice over work covered 60 promotions per week, 750,000 television spots and over 5,000 movie previews entered Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on August 22nd with a collapsed lung due to a blood clot.

LaFontaine had been employed by NBC, CBS, ABC, Fox and UPN, in addition to TNT, TBS and the Cartoon Network, all while able to cut at his own home.

“In a world…..” will never seem to have the same kick to it.
