'Knight Rider' coming to big screen
The talking car K.I.T.T. is heading to the big screen in an adaptation of the hit 1980s TV series "Knight Rider."
Series creator Glen A. Larson will write and executive produce the Weinstein Co. project, which he anticipates will begin production next year. The project had previously been in development at Sony-based Revolution Studios.
Larson has bandied about the project for years. "A number of people wanted to do a pure comedic send-up of it, but I always felt that would throw away the franchise," he said. "There was always some humor on the show, but this film will probably have more gallows, foxhole humor.
Despite the darker tone, he said he would aim for a PG-13 rating because he doesn't want to exclude the series' core audience. The show ran on NBC from 1982-86.
The story centers on the tale of a police investigator shot in the line of duty who is nursed back to health by a mysterious millionaire. He's given a new name (Michael Knight), a new face and a new car to help him continue his work. As in the pilot, he also seeks revenge on the criminals who left him for dead.
Larson wouldn't say whether David Hasselhoff, who starred in the series, would appear in a cameo or if William Daniels would reprise his role as the voice of K.I.T.T.
Other Larson TV series being developed as film adaptations include "Magnum, P.I." at Imagine Entertainment and "The Fall Guy" at Warner Bros. Pictures.

Hell ya, I just saw that on CNN also.
Knight Rider rules. I have the entire series on DVD, although I dont know if thats good or bad LOL
Knight Rider ownz the Fall Guy. David Hasselhoff could kick the shit out of Lee Majors. Neither one can act for shit though.
The best show of those days in my opinion was Airwolf. They only released one season on DVD unfortunately. That would be a badass movie too.

You're crazy...how many times did Kitt have to save Michael's ass?? The Fall Guy didn't need no stinkin car to help him.

The Fall Guy, Knight Rider, Airwolf, & Blue Thunder were the best shows of that type back then, I miss all of them. I used to love those shows, and yes I watched them when they were new episiodes not just as re-runs. :D

Yeah, but look who Michael was upagainst... KARR (the killer prototype of KITT, Goliath (that huge semi with KITTS armor coating,) mercenaries, ninjas, terrorists, drug kingpins, weapons dealers, etc. How many times did Fall Guy have someone shooting LAWS rockets at him? Its all relative :goodjob:
God Im a dork sometimes.
I still hope they release the rest of the Airwolfs on DVD here LOL The helicopter was cool as hell. But Stringfellow was a whiney, crybaby bitch in a lot of episodes. He wasnt a good hero figure I dont think.

Knight Rider was my show as a kid. The fans have been waiting years for this news and it is great to see Glen Larson will be involved. Excellent.
