SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
In the new version the cars will be able to shapeshift into other things, and there might be evil shapeshifting cars too!
Dave Andron ("Raines") is writing.
Doug Liman, who previously directed the pilots for "The O.C." and "Heist" (which went to series) and "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" (which didn't) may direct.

I thought this was going to be a big Hollywood flick?
-
I dont know if this is good or bad news,but next i predict an A-Team remake.
-
i ate too much mash potatos bbl
-
Love Knight Rider.
Don't know about the Shapeshifting. -
Has Universal Television just started to turn out nothing but remakes and "re imaginings"?
Knight Rider was cheesy in the early 80s. It will be really really cheesy in the late 00s.
Still though, I have to say, bring back the HOFF!!! -
because Knight Rider is constantly on a mission to find Energon! Oh...wait... Seriously though. The cars would have to change every five minutes to keep today's taylor made ADD generation focused. How many ADD kids does it take to screw in a light bulb? Do you want to go bike riding?
-
...Someone had to say it.
-
Just in Hasselhoof's chest hair now has his own agent... :)
-
I can see it now in all its sweaty, flabby, impotent, balding glory. There will be the usual cadre of loud, angry geeks who feel their chidlhood memories under threat because of a remake of tv show. And I will be there to laugh my arse at all of you!
-
and just using goddamn name. Wow, they're actually trying to cash in on two different properties at the same time! Like having your childhood raped in the butt and the mouth.
-
Let the posts begin......... :)
-
Not that my arse can't laugh of course.
-
Sounds like a lot of money is going to be spent on CGI. I hope the story will be there. Will the "Hoff" be a part of the new series? I kinda hope he will be there sorta the same way Richard Hatch did with Battlestar Galactica. More of a nemesis to the whole KITT project, not really a bad guy.
-
nobody gave that much of a shit about Knight Rider
-
Have you not heard of a little thing called DVD? If you're so precious about your childhood memories, just get the original on DVD, curl up under your blankie and suck your thumb and all will be fine.
-
It's gotta better than Team Knight Rider, the Galactica 1980 of the Knight Rider universe!
-
noooooooooooooo
-
Who's sweaty ass is clinching up now?
-
Isn't it kind of important to mention that Liman is producing and may direct? Seems more important than mentioning the guy who did Raines is writing. If Liman's behind it, I'll give it a shot ...
-
You got me mate, you got me! I've just been experiencing much fanboy fury on the imdb's Bionic Woman board and well, one does tend to lash out....
-
if they were able to somehow on TV make shape shifting robots fight and look good, im willing to forgive the fact im watching a show where in the real world shape shifting robots fight; and just enjoy it.
-
After making the "The Hoffs gotta eat !" comment, I came back to say, "The Hoffs gotta eat... HAMBURGERS".
I still think this idea is lame though. -
I get a little lashy when I see "raped my childhood" too. Haven't peeped the Bionic-woman thread yet. I'm sure it's getting ricockulous. (though I am getting sick of remakes etc. myself) Oh well. As long as it's a good remake.
-
trembles at the alter of THE SHATNER.
-
After Knight Rider 2000, Knight Rider 2010, Knight Rider 3000 and Team Knight Rider, they really need to leave it alone.
-
Seriously...please tell me this is a joke! Bionic Woman was bad enough!
-
Man this sounds pants. I'd love to see a new imagining of the series but shapeshifting this guys seen transformers way to many times!
-
I'm all around you. Knight Boat the movie!!!
-
Coolest theme music on TV
-
I was waxing lyrical in a semi-pissed state in the pub about the genius of Airwolf the other night. Glad I'm not alone.
-
...Oh yeah, I thought the concept sucked ass the first time when it was called "Viper".
-
had the coolest theme.
-
if they're doing this, i guess the theatrical movie they were in the midst of trying to put together has either fallen through or someone thought it be better to go as a series. but yeah shapeshifting? this show wasnt about hiding and stealth, it was just ur basic cop/detective show that happened to feature a talking car as a character. i wonder if william daniel's phone is ringing with an offer now.
-
..only allow it to change into other GM cars so they can keep the product placement going? Even in remake-mad Hollyweird, this is a piss-poor idea. Hark, I hear the sound of the bottom of a barrel being scraped.
-
Will now be an 1980 era DeLorean with the power to travel back in time, driven by teenage lifeguard Michael McNight, former slacker turned night time time-traveling superhero. In each episode, have travels back in time to set things right. Now, that's original thinking!
-
We can't have Knight Rider without the Hoff!
-
does that mean the new Knight Rider can change from one Ford design to the next? It'd be so cool to be able to drive a Mustang, then press a button and drive a F-150, then press a button and drive a...Fusion, then press a button and drive a...er...Taurus? Yeah, that would be so cool...
-
Just call it something else, since it's, ya know, different.
-
I for one welcome our new cars with flashing red lights overlords
-
I know the original was quite cheesy but I always felt they tried to keep KITT vaguely believable. Still, I'm sure they'll do a better job than Bay did with his transforming cars.
They'd better keep Hasselhoff involved though, it won't be any good without him. Just so long as we don't get scenes of him drunk trying to eat a sandwich off the floor of KITT. -
The Shapeshiftobots are here to save Earth from the evil Shapeshifticons with their leader, KITTimus Prime.
-
Because I skein so. New skein please.
-
Wonder if this will tie into Knight Rider 2000 or Team Knight Rider. Did you know that Team Knight Rider slipped itself into Star Trek continuity?
-
Hilarious...absolutely hilarious! I would love to see it!
-
Boy I loved it when those two siblings locked horns...
-
You heard it here first
-
How about just posting links on the main page?
-
He finally moved on up!
-
I remember the time that Airwolf went up into space.
-
Transformers 2 is going straight to TV! Not even to DVD?!
-
But if it's 1982, how am I on the internet? Paradox! Where's Doc Brown! Great Scott!
-
GoBots the TV series?
-
Knight Rider Vs Transformers?
What's next, BSG Vs GI Joe? -
Thanks, both of those shows rocked!
-
That is all.
-
Ok, I might regret asking this but how does TKR fit with Star Trek?
-
No shapeshifting Transformers cars or Go-Bots! And no Rock Lords!
-
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but wasn't there a syndicated series that was a sequel to Knight Rider already? That featured shape-shifting cars? Remember seeing something like that on Saturday afternoons at some point a few years ago...
-
...who has bigger balls than any of the male characters, is an expert at everything you can possibly imagine and is played by Katie Sackhoff. Seems to be the preferred formula of NBC's SciFi in the 21st Century.
-
"...remember when I was David Hasselhoff's car?"
-
blew DOG. Thats all
-
Michael: Faster, Knight Boat! We gotta catch those starfish poachers.
Knight Boat: You don't have to yell, Michael, I'm all around you.
Michael: Oh, no! They're headed for land. Michael: We'll never catch them now.
Knight Boat: Incorrect--look! A canal.
Homer: Go, Knight Boat, go!
Bart: Oh, every week there's a canal.
Lisa: Or an inlet.
Bart: Or a fjord.
Homer: Quiet! I will not hear another word against the boat.
Marge: OK, TV off. It's family time.
Homer: Oh, but Marge! Knight Boat, the crime-solving boat!
-
eat my ass while you are at it you fucking hacks...
-
C'mon Knight Rider? That would be the 80's pop culture adaptation money shot! 'Miami Vice' 'Transformers' and
'Dukes of Hazard' are but mere fluffing in preparation.
But I want nothing to do with whoever wrote 'Raines' that dialog was all about reading fscking books!
'Hey...have you ever read 'Undaunted Courage...' 'I guess I read to much Raymond Chandler...'
Do not want. -
