3 Interesting Facts
1. The limo in this video belonged to the late Don LaFontaine, featured prominently in the film. Don used to have his own limousine at one point and often brought others along for the ride when he'd go from studio to studio before he could ISDN his sessions from home. These were called "ride alongs" by those who got to go with him.
2. There is a famous voice in this video that did not bare his face... did you catch the voice over cameo made by Hal Douglas? Hal Douglas is another significant movie trailer voice over artist. To see a video him acting up in the booth, check out "Voice Over Guy Gets Fired."
3. Mark Elliot (b. 1939), the primary voice of Walt Disney Entertainment, is perhaps the most identifiable voice of a brand. Mark's voice represents Disney films and is also used in their commercials.

Have seen this video a number of times now and it always makes me smile. I smile in awe of the talent, smile at the story line, smile at the humour and smile for the Aussie contingent....go Nick Tate !

It'a all about style, evidently. Dark and edgy vs. bright and yellow. *Note to self... update wardrobe for more versatility. Who needs a voice, it's all in the clothes!
Love it!
