A while ago I reported that Arrested Development’s Will Arnett would be doing the voice of KITT in the new Knight Rider. Then I hear a DJ on the radio talking about how he heard that Val Kilmer was doing the voice of KITT. And sure enough, per slashfilm.com, Val Kilmer will be replacing Arnett as KITT. Apparently Arnett was replaced due to a supposed conflict even though he’s already recorded much of the voice of the new Ford Mustang known as KITT, it turns out that having also done commercial work in the past for General Motors, it is a conflict of interest. Sounds a little warped to me, and a shame to not use the talented Arnett. I guess we’ll just have to see how Kilmer does…
