A Teaser For That KNIGHT RIDER TV-Movie!!
SPOILER ALERT !!
I am – Hercules!!
NBC Universal, the same folks who brought you the reimagining of “The Bionic Woman,” is remaking “Knight Rider” as a TV-movie. If enough of you watch it, it might become a weekly series.
The TV-movie was written by David Andron, who wrote episode seven of “Raines.” It was directed by TV vet Steve Shill, who’s helmed episodes of at least two other reimagined series, the 2003 version of “Dragnet” and the 2005 version of “Night Stalker.”
This entry may offer far better product-placement opportunities.
The network just aired a teaser:
If you couldn’t get that teaser to load, the “Knight Rider” TV movie airs in February.

and gay execution. please knight rider just die.
-
Booyah!
Oh, and this looks like ass. -
Figures... my first chance at being first and it would have to be for a teaser for this turd of a show.
-
sold on the idea of the car being a Mustang, but... eh... I just can't get excited about this!
-
as in my brains sliced open. God, that was awful.
-
They might as well have said, "from the makers of the Bubonic Plague..."
-
it's GOB from Arrested Development.
-
i miss the slow mo running. tv just isn't the same without blatant sexual exploitation.
-
Is a fucking Trans Am. Period.
-
I mean really, wouldn't that save the world if everyone bought one? What better car for KITT?
-
"I'll gut you like a fish!"
Good to see the voice actor for the killer from the Scream movies finally get another gig.
I still think this has bomb written all over it. -
The Cylons and Decepticons have joined forces??
-
WTF? It's supposed to be "Michael".
-
Face it Bionic Woman is a piece of crap!

The makers of Bionic Woman had nothing to do with this

Herc was an ass for making the NBC Universal comment - Yeah, same studio/network, but none of the same creative people had anything to do with this. Might as well say Rush Hour 3 was made by the same people who made Lord of the Rings if you want to go with who's funding things. Herc also could have said "from the same folks who brought you the reimagining of Battlestar Galactica", since that's also NBC Uni, but he was going for snark. Though since David Eick actually produces both Battlestar and Bionic (though not Knight Rider), it actually gets pretty murky whether making that association is good or not. Anyway, glad to hear Will Arnett's voice. And eXcommunicated, the main character in this new Knight Rider is named Mike Tracer, and he's Michael Knight's son.
-
You get rid of decent shows like Journeyman and stick us with crap like Bionic Woman and Knight Rider. Way to reinforce the "No-Brains Company" nickname.
-
Manimal! Manimal!
Who is with me? -
"Some of the crummiest television programming of the last 15 years."...And no, I don't mean MTV. Not quite THAT bad... but close."
-
Make it so. :)
-
First and foremost, I'm not a fan of the original series nor do I have much interest in this new show/movie/thing. However, most of you are basing your opinion of this TV show on the kind of car they chose. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Who cares if they didn't choose the same kind of car or company? You've seen a minute of footage (that wasn't even real footage) and all you're doing is sniping it. You really should feel ashamed for yourselves.
-
"He doesn't even know who his real father is!"
-
DAMN YOU MICHAEL BAY!!!!!!
-
couldn't save this
-
or im not watching it.
-
will they bring journeyman back? or better yet, if somehow this turns out to be a well written, engaging show, (heh heh, yeah, right.) will they cancel it after 13 episodes?
-
Watched this from time to time as a kid, but was never a huge fan. Glen A Larson tried to update the series in '91 with NIGHT RIDER 2000 which flopped (http://imdb.com/title/tt0102227/). Why does the network think that a 3rd remake/sequel will work?
-
written by David Andron, who wrote episode seven of “Raines” you say?
i can barely conceal my enthusiasm for this shitburger either. -
Team Knight Rider, where there were not 1 but 5 talking vehicles, three of which were Fords (a Mustang, an Expedition, and an F-150). The chick from Big Fat Greek Wedding did the voice the Mustang. Pretty decent for a campy syndicated action show, and made a little sense--how a big and powerful "Foundation for Law and Government" did its thing with just one agent and one talking car never sat right with me. Obviously KR2008 is going to disregard TKR and the godawful KR2000 (and the not-even-connected Mad Maxey KR2010).
-
really, you're now dragging up tv series from the not so distant past? thinking it's going to be a hit? like bionic woman? fuck you and your pathetic executives. YOU had a hit with JOURNEYMAN. no second chances for you!
-
Believe that!
-
suffered enough to be attached to this turd-in-waiting? ;)
-
That should be the next reboot.
-
Sorry but that's all they know how to do on these brain dead talkbacks anymore. It's their chance to attempt to be funny. provocative, intellectual, and not very clever. You can't do all those things and be positive about something. After all it's all about " Look at me! " not the subject matter anymore.
-
Someone at NBC saw Arnett do that voice on "30 Rock" and thought THAT was the voice of KITT?! haha I hope this tanks and they get fired.
-
I'm not totally up to date with the show since I'm watching it as it airs on Sky One, but it's a bit silly... yeah it's great to watch but it's hard to take seriously. For example I would hope that if I left a room and me from 7 years ago came back into the room my friends would notice! Having said that I assume there's some cracking episodes coming up since there's such love for the show!
-
Really?
-
Stick with it mate, there are indeed some cracking episodes coming up
-
loved that show and manimal and street hawk and airwolf. Kill them all NBC you know you want to!
P.S no ones thought of dallas and dynasty as yet, fill yer boots nbc! -
Whatever you do, don't buy the Blu-Ray 5 disc set of Blade Runner. At least wait a while till Warner sounds the all clear. Major glitch: disc 5 which is supposed to contain the workprint version of the film instead is mislabeled and contains a duplicate of disc 1. Read about it here: http://tinyurl.com/2jhavu

making rehashes of old ideas...and really rehashing old shows really stinks.....how many have really done well...only BSG....otherwise Bionic Woman ugh, Flash gordon ugh, now knight rider???
-
This steaming pile.
-
..followed by hipster reference, slam-dunked with a "arrested development" dialogue quote.
yyyyeeeeeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhh.......(sitting back with arms crossed behind head) -
that's great.
-
since someone mentioned journeyman. thats not right. bring back journeyman.
-
You really believe there is going to be an interesting story here? All this has is the name and the car, and they aren't even getting the car right. Why didn't they just make it a bloody h3 to appeal to more douche-bags? Then again NBC has a lot of faith in the stupidity of their audience.. why is My Name is Earl still on the air? Or better yet which of you knuckle-heads keep setting your standards low enough to think that 30 rock is actually funny?
-
...would you like me to spank you? My seats wash easily. You could let one go in here and nobody will ever find out..."The TBer who said KITT sounds like a gay telephone operator is dead right.
-
KNight Rider was the bomb back in the day, It can be again these days just think of all the possibilities with storylines
-
Buck Rogers in the 28th Century
-
Bring back Journeyman, you fucking goat fuckers.
-
Just wondering.
-
Within a few episodes of this they will not only try and indoctrinate our youth with anti-American sentiments towards our troops, they will also have an episode dedicated towards global warming with a cameo by Al Gore touting how fuel efficient the Knight Rider is and how we are all destroying the planet by overpopulation..So kids, don't have children to save the planet...
-
that trailer gave me a bit of hope.
-
Nawww...that wouldn't be any good. Forget I mentioned it.
-
they should bring back journeyman.
-
An all new Spectreman !!! Don't fuck with Spectreman!!!!
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ec9d0HdCtrw -
Are you fucking kidding me?
-
That line about committingsuicide in public was hillarious!!
This 'show' looks shit -
SUPERTRAIN!!!
oh, yeah, look at those red lines...ohhh...
Airwolf was CBS, Automan and Street Hawk were ABC, so it's not all NBC's fault, oh wait a minute, they did give us Jacko in Highwayman, with the 18-wheeler that was also a helicopter... -
i wanted that 18-wheeler/helicopter so bad.
-
Is it time to revive this legendary catchphrase invented by yours truly?
It sure is!
Bring on KNIGHT RIDER!
Bring on PWNS TEH SUK !
BRING IT TEH FUK ON!!! -
in a universe in which New Bionic Woman does not exist!
-
I like Will Arnett. He'd be great as Kitt, if the 80's version was never around, or if he is a total bad ass...
But William Daniels will always be Kitt.
Oh and that promo sucked. -
Brad Pitt as Tyler Durden. You know you want it.
-
The original Knight Rider episodes were boring stories. Same shit, different episode.
What made Knight Rider interesting was that particular Trans AM car. It just looked so fucking cool. It was fascinating. And it had this computer personality with a computer voice lightyears ahead of speak and spell.
When I was a kid I was fascinated by the wheels and the flashing red light. Knight Rider 2000, Team Knight Rider, and this new thing, all FAIL because they lack that exact Trans AM car in that exact setup (without that desperate super pursuit mode bullshit).
You could write a fucking Shakespeare quality story for Knight Rider 2000, but if it leaves out the original car - the original insides - the original voice - and the Hasslehoff - it's a fucking waste of fucking time and it's going to fucking fail.
Hip hop car? Women with fake tits who look like Britney spears? Fuck off. Keep it real nig.
Remake Knight Rider - set it in the 80's for fuck's sake. Have it look 80's style, with 80's music, and 80's looking women.
Remember - the aesthetics of Knight Rider are why it's loved - not the stories. You TV guys need to keep the look, sound, and feel the SAME, the same basic character names of Michael Knight and KITT etc. The stories can be quite different and it won't matter! Keep the CAR the same.
This is so obvious - any TV morons who don't recognise this SHOULD commit suicide after they get fired for making such a fradulent britney spears hip hop drinking a cup of fat failure of a remake. -
the stories should be written in the same style as DIAGNOSIS MURDER - not Puff Daddy dance club ho's and bitches playstation 2 dance dance arena 57 OK? DO YOU HEAR ME YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE HOLLYWOORD CUNTS!?/3@
-
I can just see it. a group of misunderstood goth teens on the run from the law for a fashion crime they did not commit.
-
My Mother the Car!!! They could have the main character be a Mazda Miata!
-
Hello asshole car.
-
john singleton is making a theatrical movie out of it.
-
I could go for a "Small Wonder" remake. Except make it with Vicki all grown up... Late 20's or 30, get Michelle after the Bioic Woman tanks. Turn Vicki into a hot robo-stripper who can't refuse any sumptin-sumptin action but fights crime while looking for Jamie who's been missing since he became a drug-addled gay porn star trying to live clean and have Emily do the voice-over.
Now THAT'S a remake. -
And KITT sounds like that pervey guy from the airport restroom.
-
He just has a wide wheel base.
-
need to do the voice or it will just be lame. it sounded like him.
-
FOOL!!!!!!
-
Coming soon from NBC, a super car that is completely screwed by corners. A supercar that makes a lot of noise but still only has the performance of a 2 litre sales rep-mobile. A supercar with yards of cheap plastic inside but so many cup holders. Cut to somebody from the Foundation wishing they hadn't used a car from the world's automotive dustbin as the base.
-
WTF is wrong with Hollywood?!?! To much dick up their asses or just not enough sperm in their coffee! A mustang? Are studios cutting deals with Ford or what? And that creeky child molester voice, what the hell is that? This show is not going to survive the piolet! FUCK THIS SHIT!
-
Then again, it survived originally despite casting a cheese-monger non-actor with a white man's afro and a talking car based on one of the worst automobiles ever made with the voice of a gay schoolteacher. So it could still work !
