Kilmer Does KITT
With the premiere of the NBC backdoor pilot Knight Rider only a week and a half away, it’s surprising to see a major cast change — but change they did.
After actively promoting Will Arnett as the voice of KITT, the actor was released from his duties due to a car conflict. Turns out Arnett has been the voice of GMC trucks for quite some time which didn’t sit well with Knight Rider sponsor Ford. Not only did Ford supply the Mustang that “plays” KITT, they’re also heavily promoting the series with a sweepstakes and their logo on all of the promotional materials.
The good news - Val Kilmer has jumped behind the wheel and he’s busily re-recording all of KITT’s dialogue as we speak!
Now that’s a last minute rescue that even Michael Knight would be proud of.

Ok well since Im the first to make a comment here it goes.
THE MOVIE SUCKED THE VOICE OF KIT HAD NO PERSONALITY AND THE STORY WAS THE CRAP I NEVER SAW SUCH GARBAGE IN MY LIFE.
TO THINK THIS WAS GOING TO UPDATE THE ORIGINAL SHOW.
THE CAR HAD NONE I MEAN NONE FEATURES THAT EVEN COMPARED TO KITT FROM 1984.
I reclently watched the origianl show the new kit has nothing on the the original oh and the car choice what a peice of crap!
