The only widely available new translation that would be close to the KJV would be the NKJV (New King James Version).
Keep in mind that there are others who disagree that these are based off of the best manuscripts.
I would recommend doing some research as to how each camp (pro-KJV, pro-modern version, etc) defends their position. Here are some resources to get you started...
