Film Review: In A World... (2013)


It's strange to think that no one has ever made a comedy set in the world of voice-over artists. In some ways, it's kind of a perfect setting for one. It's a very specific, small community with its own outsized personalities; people like the late Don LaFontaine, who coined the phrase "In a world..." which is synonymous with a certain kind of epic movie trailer, and who was a very successful, acclaimed figure within the voice-over community but whose fame never extended far beyond it. After all, the whole point of being a voice-over artist is to be seen and not heard. Given that milieu, you could easily see someone Christopher Guest having a field day showing the members of this insular world competing against each other, complete with stakes that would mean almost nothing to the average person, but everything to the artists themselves.
