...starting with: 'Imagine if you lost everything' - 'your job, your money, your friends, your life' or similar? Trying to cut a trailer for a feature doc we've shot and looking for inspiration.
Anyone seen any movie trailers...

I didn't notice it before, but it feels like the movie-trailer narrator--at least an actual, omniscient trailer narrator--has died off quite a bit. We aren't hearing the cliched epic lines that break-down the story for you with simple but powerful words as much anymore. Now it's become more of a joke. And we're seeing much way more trailers just taking epic and sometimes ambiguous lines of dialogue from the movie itself, and using those to narrate over other scenes in the trailer, especially teaser trailers.
I'm all for the classic movie trailer narrators, though, if you can get the right sound, the right accent, and the right dialogue for them to say in reference to your film. So if you want a narrator, that's always cool.
But I think tracking down another trailer that has a similar approach to what you want is going to be hard, especially with the specific terms and style you're looking for.
You'd probably just be better off making up yours from scratch. But definitely bring your early drafts and edits of the trailer back here for feedback, because making it sound right and sound credible without sounding laughable is one of the hardest aspects: unless of course it's a comedy where that's the point.
