Knight Rider To Ride Again

Posted by Zonk on from the how-much-can-you-be-disappointed-lets-find-out dept.

Penguinsh*t writes "Though the movie version of Knight Rider has remained 'up on chocks' for the better part of the last decade, Knight Rider, the TV show is revving into high gear. 'The premise of the show will essentially remain the same as the original, which centered on a mulleted man righting wrongs with the help of a particularly chatty and souped-up automobile. No word yet on who will play the hero this time around, but the Peacock is looking for some new blood.' Besides which, 'the Hoff' is busy."

    i just realized this is a show, not a movie. Go ahead and unleash the hounds (with bees in their mouths, and when they bark, they shoot bees at you). Also, I've been drinking.

    Hollywood. Please stop with the remakes. Let's see something original.

    How many remakes have they done over the past ten years or so?

    Charlie's Angels
    Transformers
    Bionic Woman
    Alvin and the Chipmunks
    Bewitched
    Starsky & Hutch
    Lost in Space
    The Dukes of Hazzard
    Fat Albert
    Miami Vice.....

    the list goes on and on.

    Can't wait for the Thundercats and Get Smart movies.

      Don't know if they're making a Thundercats movie, but you haven't seen the Get Smart trailer?

    They won't use anything Italian due to cost. They'll use something cheap and common enough to replace / repair every time they break one. I could see them use a Lada or Hyundai.

    Or they could try to do it all with CGI on a TV budget. Won't that look cool.

    I thought they already had a remake. I guess they just needed to rehash this one more time. Oh well, let's hope it's not another Flash Gordon.

    I'd almost believe it. The Dukes did go through over 300 Chargers in the course of the series.
