The New Knight Rider KITT Car
Several days ago NBC held a press conference to officially announce the return of Knight Rider to network TV. The new show, which will debut as a two-hour movie on February seventeenth stars the handsome twenty-nine year old Justin Bruening as Mike Tracer. The movie will also star Deanne Russo, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Bruce Davidson with Will Arnett as the voice of KITT. David Hasselhoff will also reprise his role as Michael Knight, the original ‘lone crusader’ in the 1980’s series Knight Rider.
Today at the 2008 San Diego Comic Con Convention, Eclipse Magazine was there as NBC unveiled the newest ‘KITT car, a sleek jet black Ford GT500KR. The rep for NBC confirmed to the crowd gathered to witness the unveiling that there will actually be three versions of KITT in the show: a 540-hp standard version of the character named KITT Hero, a super high-speed version that’s heavily modified for combat called KITT Attack car.
Fans who attended Comic Con on Friday got a chance to have their picture taken with the latest incarnation of the crime fighting car with the super intelligent AI brain and a personality all his own as part of NBC’s promotion of the new movie and series.
I am stoked for this. Really hope NBC goes all out to make it a good show and not so cheezy….
