“Knight Rider” rides again! NBC has
announced plans for a new two-hour movie event based on the hit 80’s NBC series
that launched David Hasselhoff to stardom.
Access has learned David Hasselhoff will reprise his original role, as
Michael Knight, in the television movie sequel as a special guest star.
The movie stars Deanna Russo, as Sarah Graiman, the daughter of the man who
invented the original KITT car. Justin Bruening stars as Mike Tracer, Sarah’s
childhood best friend. Sarah recruits Mike to help search for her missing father
with the help of the famous talking car. KITT, the talking super car, will be
voiced by funnyman, Will Arnett, of “30 Rock,” “Arrested Development” and
“Blades of Glory” fame.
The new KITT cars also debuted today. NBC has dubbed KITT, “absolutely the
coolest car ever created.”
The car has the ability to change shape & color, an array of high-tech
weapons & nanotechnology, along with superior artificial intelligence- plus,
like the original, it talks!
The television movie will feature three versions of the famous KITT car. A
Ford Mustang Shelby GT500KR as the everyday hero car. The KITT Attack car will
transform into attack mode with air-ride technology and specialized body parts.
There will also be a driverless remote controlled version of the Ford
Mustang.
“I have no control! It drives itself! Which you will probably see in the
episode. I have a look of terror on my face,” Bruening says.
The new tricked out KITT car will burst into action on Sunday, February 17 at
9 PM on NBC.
