Val Kilmer in as 'Knight Rider' voice
Funnyman Will Arnett just got bumped from the "Knight Rider" remake as the voice of K.I.T.T., the talking car. It seems GMC Trucks, for whom Arnett voices the ads, didn't like that K.I.T.T. is a Ford Mustang - and expressed that displeasure through their lawyers.
But producer Doug Liman tells us he has cast Val Kilmer instead.
"I personally fell in love with Will's voice, but in terms of disruption, it is just a voice," he said at the Monday premiere of his new action film "Jumper."
"Will was incredible, but Val came in and is unbelievable. I've always had remarkable luck - I lost Brad Pitt as Jason Bourne [in the "Bourne Identity" franchise] and Matt Damon came in and knocked it out of the park."
"Jumper" stars Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen hit the premiere after stopping by Liman's Legal Action Center fund-raiser.
"I cast Rachel for this film in secret," director Liman said. "We started filming with a younger actress and were having both actors play teenagers, but it was much more interesting to see a guy in his 20s try to sleep with women all over the world."
