Fans of Morgan Freeman and his voice can now hear him whenever you use the Waze app
If you ever needed a narrator for a movie about your life, who would you choose? I would personally pick Morgan Freeman, as his voice can invest any audience member into watching whatever is playing. He can make a movie about penguins interesting. His role as God in Bruce Almighty was a perfect casting choice in trying to tell the human race the answers to all of life’s questions. Now, Morgan Freeman will literally be answering your questions, but this time on whether to turn left or right.
According to Entertainment Weekly, the actor has teamed up with Waze, the navigation app designed by Google. Freeman will join several actors as a GPS Navigation voice. You can now hear the soothing sound of Morgan Freeman directing you to the easiest way to whatever destination you want to go to.
This new partnership just didn’t come out of nowhere however. The new feature for the app is a marketing tie-in for Freeman’s new movie London Has Fallon. This is the sequel to Olympus Has Fallen, where Freeman is now the Vice President and Gerard Butler is the ultimate Secret Service agent. What is interesting is that when Morgan Freeman talks, he addresses the driver using the app as The President in his new movie. Ordinary people will feel like they are a part of the movie, while Morgan Freeman speaks in his smooth style that we all have been accustomed to.
This is a fantastic promotion for the movie, and it gives fans a chance to hear Morgan Freeman’s voice all of the time. If only technology can speed up so a hologram version of Morgan Freeman would read books to us. Now that would be something.
