Knight Rider - Revamped for the big screen

Hollywood already being clogged with re-makes of old popular flicks, production houses are looking at the same trend with slightly different angle.

Check this out…

As per SMH :

KITT the talking car from the 1980s television show Knight Rider is set to roar onto the big screen in a feature film version of the hit series.

Hollywood independent producers Harvey and Bob Weinstein are steering the project through their Weinstein Co after sealing a deal to buy the rights to the series that made David Hasselhoff a star from creator Glenn A Larson.

Larson told Variety that he believed that Knight Rider has the potential to become a franchise property that could give rise to a string of movie sequels.

This surely seems to be a fruitful business move by the producers. Initial hype around the film itself will bring in loads of moolah.

So what next ? The ‘Giant Robot’ or the ‘Famous Five’.
