Beloved '80s TV Show Gets Movie Reboot From Cobra Kai Creators
--------------------------------------------------------------
Universal Pictures is developing a Knight Rider movie, based on
the classic 1980s action TV show, which starred David Hasselhoff.
To bring the project to life, the studio has enlisted Cobra Kai
creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald to lead
the movie's creative team.
What do we know about the Knight Rider movie?
According to THR, Hurwitz, Schlossberg, and Heald have entered
negotiations to pen the remake's screenplay. In addition, Hurwitz
and Schlossberg might also direct the Knight Rider movie, after
previously co-directing two Harold & Kumar movies and American
Reunion. Should their deals push through, the creative trio would
also serve as producers through their Counterbalance production
banner.
The project will also be produced by Kelly McCormick and David
Leitch for 87North, along with Gary Barber and Chris Stone for
Spyglass. This serves as Hurwitz, Schlossberg, and Heald's
second movie project as a trio, after previously producing
2021's Plan B movie. Before the Cobra Kai team's involvement, it
was previously reported in 2020 that Spyglass partnered with
James Wan to produce the remake. At the moment, it's unclear why
Wan's version didn't move forward.
The original Knight Rider series was created by Glenn A. Larson.
It ran on-air for four seasons from 1982-1986 on NBC. The show
starred a 30-year-old Hasselhoff, who portrayed the role of
Michael Knight, a crime-fighting driver assisted by a smart
high-tech car called KITT, which was voiced by Emmy-winning
veteran actor William Daniels (Boys Meets World). After it
debuted, it became a multimedia franchise that resulted in three
short-lived spinoff series, merchandise, and multiple video
games.

Let's all hope that it's as good as "Night Rider 2000" and "Team Knight Rider" - that would be keen!

I doubt it will even reach the "heights" of those two hideous versions. Hollyweird just gets worse and worse.

That's why I can't wait for the new Buffy... I'm sure it will live up to
my expectations.

Technically not true, despite what internet definitions like to think.
"Showrunner" is simply the person in charge. It could be a TV show, a
movie, a stage play, a circus performance, a gallery opening, etc. - basically any big event or display. Hence where they are sometimes
called is called a "stage show", a "cinema show", "circus show", etc. :-)

I think you are confusing "up" and "down". ;)

Depends on how low your expectations are to begin with. ;-)
