Default Knight Rider making a comeback??

...or just an internet rumor??? You be the judge.





There’s a poster for a Knight Rider 2008 movie circulating around the net, supposedly from Weinstein Bros. The return of K.I.T.T. looks to be amazing , but who’s going to play the part of Michael Knight? David Hasselhoff isn’t quite looking like he did back in the 80’s. Maybe a few trips to the gym and some botox might do the job. Oh, and they’ll also need to update his Casio Comlink Wristwatch!

They should give him that Dodge prototype from The Wraith...that car kept getting busted up and it would just come back from the dead. Add KITT and you are set.

Hmmm...

Good idea. I think it will be cheesy and poorly executed.

PLACE YOUR BETS!!!

I see it costing over $100 mil to make and market, but it will make only $60 mil in the box office...

I agree but there isn't any word that Pontiac will be bringing the Firebird name back. The Camaro is already slated to be in the Transformers movie.

I remember reading in some magazine that Pontiac is planning on bringing a car to market using the new Camaro platform but that it would bear the GTO name.

I loved that show as a kid. Hasselhoff can still play Michael Knight. They should bring back KITT's evil twin KARR too

Yea I love that show. Can't wait to see it come back and hopefully well.

They made that show I think 7-8 years ago here in San Antonio with the RED Kitt 2000. That floated on the River DT. Hehe. It wasn't as good as the original but it was cool to see a kinda small come back.
