Knight Rider Cometh...

KNIGHT RIDER
First of all watch this....

That's the first teaser promo that has been airing on on television for NBC's upcoming Knight Rider. The two hour movie event is set to air on NBC Sunday, February 17th.

Although I play a small part in the production, I must say that I am VERY excited for this movie to air. Executive Producer Doug Liman ('The Bourne Identity' Franchise) and Executive Producer David Bartis have joined together to bring back the 1980's television classic "Knight Rider." The two-hour movie event brings KITT and a talented cast of young and seasoned actors into the 21st century with speed, drama, love and triumph. David Hasselhoff as a special guest star returns as Michael Knight.

As you can see KITT has changed, this time around he is a customized Ford Mustang. You can see the pictures on the right (taken from the NBC Knight Rider Publicity Event). The two different versions of the car (above: Standard Mode KITT right: Battle Mode KITT) were on display including the remote controlled stunt car, that requires no physical driver behind the wheel. There are no dramatic changes to the car once it morphs into battle mode besides a spoiler, tail fin and darker rims. Initially actor, Will Arnett was announced to do the voice of the high-tech automobile, but due to prior engagements, he was forced to pull out of the project. But, days ago, we landed a much bigger name, and in my opinion, a much better voice in Val Kilmer. The addition of Mr. Kilmer should attract more viewers and add some great laughs and personality to the show.

This is a video taken from the NBC Knight Rider Publicity Event, check out all three cars showcased. I think you'll enjoy it...
