    Remember this 1980s television series? It seems David Hasselhoff has been trying to turn it into a movie, and had lined up a studio to make the flick. But now, Hasselhoff and the studio have parted ways, says an insider, because of “artistic difference.” The source explains: “The studio didn’t want the car to talk. David was like, ‘Hello?’ So he’s switching studios.” The whole basis of the show was about K.I.T.T. How can you even consider the show without a talking car?

      Geez. Starsky and Hutch. Now Knight Rider. If I think it's stupid that Hollywood even makes movies out of these TV shows, you can imagine what I think about the people who actually make the venture profitable! Marc Microsoft MVP, Visual C# MyXaml MyXaml Blog

            Seriously, I went to watch Starsky and Hutch and left the cinema in tears. What a total waste..the only two punch lines were in the trailer..the rest of the movie was a wash out. I'm never watching a Stiller movie again unless everybody else in the world watches it first :( " Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill ? "

              Man, apartently someone doesn't agree with you! I do, though. It's stupid how Hollywood is desperately trying to make people think they can still tell a decent story when almost everything is just a rehash of an old TV show (and they usually do the original show no justice) or the umpteenth remake of another movie. Sure, many will say they can't tell an original story because every plot has been done to death (and maybe that's true), but there's only so many conflicts and ways to resolve those conflicts that people will actually like. What really irks me is that Hollywood demands such tight control over all this garbage when we've already seen it on TV over the last few decades. I'm not one of these people that totally boycotts Hollywood. I still go to movies for entertainment, but I stopped hoping for something new a long time ago and try to steer clear of TV remakes because they often poison my opinion of the original.

                If TV shows of the 70's and 80's are successfully made into movies during the 00's, imagine the movies being made 25 years from now. Survivor : Artic Challenge. American Idol : The Dream Continues. 24 Hours : A Day In The Life.

                  With Hasselhoff as old as he is, now K.I.T.T. will have to do even more work, so of course he has to talk! That's like New Line deciding to take hobbits out of Peter Jackson's next movie after "King Kong" (i.e., "The Hobbit")!

The television series was not a comdey, and the car was just as much a star as the two occupants. I'm not sure the movie makes the car out to be anything other than a red vehicle with a white stripe.

                                        Nah, it should be Knight Rider vs. The Constructions of the A-Team - pitting the pinnacle of automotive technology against the scrap-heap bodging brilliance of Murdoch and Mr T :-D

                                          What do you mean? They already have Ultraman movies. That and the Power Rangers. Ah, yes, giant robots in America. But nobody does giant robot movies better than Japan.
