Val Kilmer has been given the job of voicing KITT – the talking car in Knight Rider.
He replaces Arrested Development star and comedian Will Arnett. He’s had to drop out because of a conflict of interest.
It turns out Will has done voice-over work for US car maker General Motors – he’s the voice of their GMC Trucks. However, Kitt is made by rival firm Ford.
A disappointed Will’s been quoted as saying: “I was very excited at the prospect of playing the part of KITT in the new Knight Rider movie."
"However, because of a long relationship with General Motors as the voice of GMC Trucks, I had to respectfully withdraw from the project."
