Knight Rider 2008 - K.I.T.T. leaked?

Frag ahoy, bastiches!

As we all know, there's a new Knight Rider-movie coming (IMDB). Now, there hasn't been much more info on the whole issue, but now an image appeared which just might be K.I.T.T., yes, everyone's favourite sarcastic vehicle.


Not too bad I'd say. I mean, it's not a TransAm, but it's a cool contemporary car which just might work. Besides, you can't go wrong with a black car.

Even if it is, it looks good. It could work. As long as it's still a real sports car and not one of those crappy city-cars that look like sportscars and aren't all that long.

... A Corvette would be neat.

Wait, what the hell? A movie?

That pic looks fan-made. I like it, but it seems a bit slick for KITT.

The movie has been in production hell for years, Hasselhoff's back as Micheal Knight, Glen A. Larson is writing the script.

Anarky, I'm disappointed. IMDb is a fabulous source for info on stuff that's out, or LITERALLY being made, but it's about as unreliable as they come regarding rumored projects and casting. I doubt anything will come of this.

IMDB once reported Captain Janeway would be in Power Rangers, Wikipedia is more reliable, and I would'nt pick either

Knight Rider practically is begging for a move version, besides, with Miami Vice an underrated success under the helm of Micheal Mann, who's to say that a film like this with it's creator writing the script will fail?

If they do a Knight Rider movie, I hope William "Mr. Feeny" Daniels reprises the roll of K.I.T.T. It just wouldn't be the same without him.

That K.I.T.T. looks stupid. TransAm Kitt looks much better.

Some car nut I know just confirmed that it's indeed a fake. Too bad, because it would have been a cool car for K.I.T.T.

The car up there is a photoshopped Königsegg CCX, as seen at the Internationale Auto Ausstellung in 2005.

Here's the original picture.



However, I do like the idea. I mean, K.I.T.T. looks really good as a modern sports car. I hope they pick up the idea. I mean, while the TransAm is a classic, it just doesn't have the same effect on people anymore. It's not provoking any "Man, that's a cool car!"-statements anymore, it's just "Hey, it's a TransAm... let's see what's new on TV."

K.I.T.T was one of a kind, not even manufactured in the form it was presented in, people customise their Transams INTO K.I.T.T, there are huge online buisnesses and otherwise for such customisation, heck by the time the second season began, they could'nt call K.I.T.T a "Transam" because too many people were asking for information on purchasing a design and car that did'nt exist

That potential car design would be the REAL reason people would'nt see the movie,
