NBC previewed the new Kitt for Knight Rider yesterday in Burbank and announced that TV movie (poss pilot) will air in February.
Am I the only one who is kind of disappointed in the new Kitt? Hopefully he will look better when the special effects are added.
NBC has placed an order for a two hour pilot of Knight Rider that will test out as a telepic to see if it should be picked up for a whole season according to Variety. Just like Bionic Woman and Nightstalker, the show will not be the same as the original minus what can be read in the one sentence description of the original.
It's also likely the new show will explore the idea of "evil" cars to offset the heroic talking K.I.T.T. car of the original skein, which starred David Hasselhoff. That said, skein is expected to essentially remain focused on the story of a single man fighting for justice with the help of his superadvanced car.
There's also huge potential for advertiser integration. General Motors was all over "Transformers," and it's easy to see NBC striking a rich deal with a single automaker to serve as the exclusive auto brand for the new "Knight." It's understood preliminary talks have already begun.
Just like movies and Broadway, what happened to the concept of being original and not remaking the past?
BTW no word if David Hasselhoff will have anything to do with the updated version of Knight Rider. I am sure NBC will find a way to have him be part of the two hour show…it might just be a commercial for America's Got Talent but they will squeeze him into it just like he squeezes into his jeans.
According to TMZ David Hasselhoff got full custody of his girls today. The Hoff came out of the hearing and said, "a beautiful day to go the beach. The judge said today 'enough, enough is enough, these children have been through enough.'" He then went on to plug America's Got Talent.
His wife was represented by someone who is quickly becoming one of the worst custody lawyers for their clients, Debra Opri. Pamela Bach came out of the courtroom crying and told her, "What am I gonna say? I just lost my kids." Opri not wanting to miss an opportunity to do press eventually convinced her to smile and wave to media. Seriously Opri cost Bach her kids and was not able to get Larry Birkhead his daughter back, why would anyone want to hire her…especially at her rates?
