Knight Rider movie
-
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")!

Hey I quite enjoyed Starsky and Hutch, but then I never watched the series so it was just another comedy flick to me. (I didn't vote you down btw :))

What next ? "Street Hawk ? "...Actually I liked that one..if they make a movie of that I'll be there with bells on :) " Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill ? "
If you don't know what I mean, look here Due to technical difficulties my previous signature, "I see dumb people" will be off until further notice. Too many people were thinking I was talking about them... :sigh:

And don't forget the classic "My Mother the Car" with Jerry van Dyke and Ann Southern as the voice of his mother reincarnated into the form of a classic 1928 Porter automobile :-D Steve

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.

If K.I.T.T. does not speak, the movie should be renamed to "Driving Miss Daisy" :-D Due to technical difficulties my previous signature, "I see dumb people" will be off until further notice. Too many people were thinking I was talking about them... :sigh:

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.

That's my movie pitch for the month. :-D Hey, if we can have a "Freddy vs. Jason" and "Aliens vs. Predator", then why not this? ;P

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

"Knight Rider" = a remake of "Forever Knight" staring Rider Strong (Boy meets World) or perhaps something completly different - "Knight Writer" - about the scribe that chronicles the tales of the "Round Table Boys" (King Arthur not Pizza) Steve
