Whatever you think of Waze, the navigational app from Google, chances are your opinion of it will rise with the news that you can choose Morgan Freeman's voice to guide you over hill and over dale.
This isn't just some dream come true. Entertainment Weekly promotes that it's part of the promotion for his new film, London Has Fallen, set to come out March 4. This film is the sequel to Olympus Has Fallen in which Freeman was the vice president of the United States.
This is a whole new twist on exclamations of "Jesus take the wheel," with the man famous for playing God giving you the directions. You can't go wrong. Right?! Hey, even when he plays a man with-gun, will-use-it (Wanted, Nurse Betty, RED), it's all good because of that voice.
According to autoblog.com, Freeman will address you as if you were the president. Time for a little RPG in traffic. We spend a lot of time in our cars, so why not bring Red along? I'm thinking of driving somewhere right now, just to fire that voice up.
Other celebrity voices you can choose from include Elvis and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Time wrote on how science proves why we love Freeman's voice so much. (Whatever. His voice reminds me of my late father, so it's always been a personal favorite.)
This is a win-win situation for drivers, their passengers and undoubtedly Google.
Here's hoping these three are added. They all have work to hawk, too:
Reg E. Cathey, whose voice woke folks up at last year's Emmys when he presented after winning guest drama actor for House of Cards during the Creative Arts Emmy ceremony.
Keith David, who most should remember for his voice acting in myriad animated movies, including villain Dr. Facilier of The Princess and the Frog, or even There's Something About Mary.
Carl Lumbly, who voices my favorite Martian Manhunter on the animated Justice League. Some of you might remember him from Alias or even Cagney & Lacey.
