BAD SNAKE Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Val Kilmer Is K.I.T.T. In Knight Rider, Replaces Will Arnett “The voice is mine.” Oooh, K.I.T.T. voice draaama! Friend of the world’s beaches and former Batman and Real Genius, Val Kilmer, has signed on to voice the smooth-computin’ automobile in the latest TV-reboot of Knight Rider for NBC and Universal. Will Kilmer’s K.I.T.T. (Knight Industries Three Thousand) do a passable Elvis impersonation and fire a laser that pops a billion golden kernals? I don’t know wise guy, but I do know that actor Will Arnett (Arrested Development) is right bummed right now. Arnett had already finished recording all of his voice work for the rebooted show, which premieres in just two weeks, see? And before you swipe Kilmer’s jolly hand away as it attempts to steal Arnett’s gooey, delicious voice of K.I.T.T., know this: it isn’t Kilmer’s fault, see? In one of the silliest signs of a world run amok in corporate Brawndo tie-ins, Arnett has done commercial voice work in the past for General Motors, and K.I.T.T., see, is a Ford Mustang. Kablowski! That invisible line in the industrial sandbox? Well, Arnett just crossed it. But he still had time to jump back over said line, cover his tracks and allow Kilmer to swing in using a vine made from his absolutely batshit resume to save the day and grab a nice payday (PayDay?).

Son of GT Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 The voice should have a Texas drawl...it really should be Carroll's voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blip Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Now for me, I keep thinking of Johnny Depp in a Jack Sparrow voice would work.... ....except for this nasty "CARS" like image I keep getting. Maybe I'll doodle up a Batman version later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ingram4868 Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Speaking of KITT the new series. Edmunds.com has a video about the car including the interior. It showed an automatic transmission selector. Maybe it's not a real GT500 after all. Found more info, incase anyone is interested. They use a couple of GT's and a V6, gees Edmunds info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blip Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks for the toon comments! shelbydream1--do you mean an SGT toon with a Bat-Hat? BadSnake--makes more sense that they used a GT, cheaper to mod and replace. Wonder how many times we'll see it crunched? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was OK, when it was a Firebird getting wrecked, but not our beloved Mustangs. Actually, come to think of it, I think KITT was supposed to be indestructable...hmmmm By the way, Blip, I'd love to see a cartoon version of my baby (albeit without the bat suit, etc...hehehe). I'd even pay you for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
