Continuing our coverage of Knight Rider at Comic Con, here is a set of images with Deanna Russo, Gary Scott Thompson and Justin Bruening revealing the Attack KITT to the world.
Be sure to check out our images of Attack KITT from yesterday as well.
We were very fortunate to be there for the world wide unveiling of the new Attack KITT at San Diego Comic Con! We'll be back in the evening with more interviews with Gary, Just and Deanna, but right now check out these sweet picks of Attack KITT!
We were tipped off by members of our forum last night, they had seen a quick teaser on NBC on Monday, but didn't get a chance to record them. So we set out tonight and taped NBC. Sure enough, we got lucky!
This ten second commercial aired 7/15 during America's Got Talent. Mostly recycled footage but new audio and graphics - just a taste of what is to come!
Sue found another one:
We brought this DVD to your attention back in June, and even then we had trouble confirming it's existence. TVShowsOnDVD started to have some trouble of their own and got the word from NBCUniversal that they decided to not package the movie separately, and to include it in the eventual season DVD.
This makes sense to us - it's not really canceled, just postponed. Besides, we were always a little disappointed that the DVD wasn't going to be released in Blu-Ray. Hopefully time will change that.

In an interview with ComingSoon, Val Kilmer was asked about how he became the voice of the new KITT.
As you might remember, Wil Arnett was originally selected as KITT, until an 11th hour contract conflict forced the actor to drop out. Val Kilmer stepped in to voice KITT for the TV movie and will be KITT for the series beginning in September. Here is his take:
He also told us how he got roped into providing the voice for KITT, the sentient car in the recent television movie and soon to be returning series "Knight Rider." "It was a really weird happy accident," he said. "It was very strange just because they called me, not Wednesday afternoon, it was Wednesday about 8:30 at night. I live in the wilderness and my private phone just never rings because if you know me, you call the cell because I travel a lot. It was ringing and I looked at the phone like, 'That's really weird. Someone's calling me.' Went over, picked it up and it was the agency saying, 'Do you want to be the voice of KITT?' and I said, 'I remember that show. It was a fun when I was a kid, sure. Should I do a tape?' 'No, it's not an audition. They're offering it to you.' I said, 'When?' 'Tomorrow at 7:00.' What had happened and I can't take any credit for it at all, is that the actor Will Arnett, someone had seen him on the commercial for a car company and called him up and said, 'I think we have a problem.' He'd signed, done the job and been paid for it, but then they found out his voice is owned for another car company, which they found out by accident."We asked if this was something he would continue doing with the upcoming "Knight Rider" series that was picked up after the success of the TV movie. "It is, they did and I am," he responded. "I'm doing it right now. I haven't done it yet, but I do the whole show in 3 or 4 hours."
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Paul Campbell is set to join the ensemble cast of Knight Rider.
On "Knight Rider," a sequel to the 1980s NBC series, Campbell ("Battlestar Galactica") will play the head research tech at Knight Industries. He is repped by WMA and ROAR.
