Looks like another classic is being brought back to life. And they are smart enough not to do a remake but a continuation of the old series. KITT will be back, in a new suit, you can say. KITT will now be in the body of a another American car. A modified version of the 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. Modifications done by Gaplin Auto Sports (formally of MTV's Pimp My Ride). Let's just hope that Mad Mike didn't put tv monitors all over the car.
David Hasselhoff will return as Michael Knight, but the story follows Knight's estranged son Mike Traceur played by Soap star Justin Bruening (see image at the top). Traceur along with his childhood friend Sarah search for her father Charles Kamen (inventor of KITT) who has disappeared mysteriously. It is uncertain how big the Hoff's role will be and if he will be a regular if the series is to be picked up and green lighted. So far it seems like this is a TV made movie, with hopes to be picked up for a series run. If it's done right and well than I don't see why not. As long as it's better than the Knight Rider 2000 movie with the Hoff in 1991 where kit was a red Pontiac Banshee prototype car. Words can't describe how terrible that was.
I say KITT should have been a Nissan GT Skyline. It's an overall much better machine than the Mustang...plus you could have added drifting to KITT's new maneuvers. But I guess KITT was an American car back then, so he should stay that way.
Knight Rider movie should hit the airways on February 17.
