A few months ago, a teaser trailer of sorts appeared online for a Knight Rider project called Knight Rider Heroes. We know something is brewing, we just don’t exactly know what it is. One thing is for sure, David Hasselhoff wants a revival series, and he talks about what he’d like to see happen during an interview with Variety.
Awhile ago it was reported that The Weinstein Company was developing a film project based on the property. There’s no word on where that project currently stands, but Michael Knight has his own ideas of how he’d like to handle it. He says:
“I see it as more of a continuation of the TV series, and they can add new characters or whatever, but they should basically keep the same feeling of the show. There are so many people out there that will absolutely freak out and love it. It would be Michael Knight kind of coming out of retirement with his son and having adventures around the world, and doing a ‘Fast and Furious’ with the Knight Rider car. How cool does that sound? How cool could it be?”
I’m not sure about you but we think this is a bad idea! We think the show was great in its time, but that time has passed. The newer show didn’t do all that well. We’re not sold on this idea. But if you ask, “will you watch it?” the answer is “One of us will.” What are your thoughts of this possible comeback?
