The ‘Knight Rider’ Teaser
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Prime Time, Specials, NBC, Video,
So here it is, the teaser for the Knight Rider movie coming to NBC next month. I must say the network played it very smart. The incredibly short clip will either whet your appetite or make you wonder what crappy scenes were left out.
The “two-hour event” - which may also a serve as the pilot for a new fall series - stars Justin Bruening as Michael Knight’s son and Will Arnett (Arrested Development) as the voice of KITT. It will also include a David Hasselhoff appearance (woo hoo!). Be listening for the roar of the new Ford Mustang on Feb. 17th.

NBC Revisiting ‘Knight Rider’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Sci-Fi/Horror, NBC,
You gotta wonder if the network responsible for resurrecting American Gladiators and Bionic Woman is simply brilliant or desperate for ideas. It has just been announced that NBC will be dusting off another classic show for today’s audience: Knight Rider. A two-hour movie will air later this season; if viewers respond, it will most likely serve as a new series’ pilot. (The original show, starring David Hasselhoff, aired from 1982-1986.)
Why Knight Rider? Well it seems the success of Transformers has given the Peacock execs millions of (unoriginal) ideas to play with. What if K.I.T.T. could also change shapes? What if there were ‘evil’ versions of the K.I.T.T. mobile?
While I’m tempted to write this movie off altogether, the film is being produced by Doug Liman (Swingers, The Bourne Identity). (Those of you who regularly watch the FilmCrunch reviews already know how much I love his directorial work.) So with hesitance, I admit I’ll be watching the remake—if only to see Michael Knight’s retooled leathers.
