I am – Hercules!!


Val Kilmer ("Comanche Moon") has replaced Will Arnett ("Arrested Development") as the voice of KITT The Car in NBC’s new “Knight Rider” TV-movie. Arnett had to pull out because his contract with General Motors (he voices GMC Truck commercials) prohibited his voicing the Ford Mustang at the center of the project, due to air Feb. 17.

For those just joining us, the new “Knight Rider” was written by David Andron, who wrote an episode of NBC’s short-lived “Raines,” and directed by Steve Shill, who previously helmed episodes of the 21st century updates of “Dragnet” and “Night Stalker.”

The new project is the latest in a series of “Knight Rider” revivals that includes “Knight Rider 2000” (1991), “Knight Rider 2010” (1994) and “Team Knight Rider” (1997).
