KNIGHT RIDER . . .
"A shadowy flight into the dangerous
world of a man who does not exist.
Michael Knight, a young loner on
a crusade, to champion the cause
of the innocent, the helpless, the
powerless. In a world of criminals
who operate above the law . . . "

There are no plans for a new series of KR, but David Hasellhoff has teamed up with the
creator and executive producer of the original TV series, Glen A Larson, to make a new
cinematic motion picture spin off. There are no confirmed details as to whether it'll be a
follow up to the TV reunion movie "Knight Rider 2000" made in 1991, or a big screen
remake based upon the original TV series. It is known, that KITT will be an updated car,
but it's not yet confirmed whether they'll be using another Pontiac Trans Am, since
the company that owns Pontiac, General Motors, discontinued this particular car,
earlier this year. It is known that William Daniels will be back to reprise his role as
the voice of KITT. (IMO, it just wouldn't be KITT with any other actor providing
the voice for the car.) William Daniels, 74, is currently the president of an
organisation in the States, called "The Screen Actors Guild of America".
More info about the KR movie, can be found at these sites:

Knight Rider Online: http://www.knightrideronline.com/
There is also a message board where all things Knight Rider can be discussed:

There's even a KR computer game for PlayStation2 and PC:

More about "Knight Rider 2000" plus the "Team Knight Rider" spin
off series, and the "Knight Rider 2010" TV movie can be found at
the teamknightrider.com website. (BTW, the KR2010 movie was
only very loosely based on the original TV series, and it did
not feature any of the original Knight Rider characters.
No Michael, no Devon, no Bonnie, and NO KITT!)
As for the game . . . the makers, Davilex are based in Holland,
so Europe is getting first dibs on this. As I understand, it is being
released to the USA sometime early in the new year, and the rest
of the World, soon after. The "free delivery" offer on the KR Game
website, is an advert for a special offer on Amazon.co.uk, where all
orders over £39 submitted before 12/12/2002 are delivered for free.
It doesn't apply to just the KR game, as that is priced at just £26.99.
For more details about the KR game, and all other things KR, it's worth
reading the messages on the KR Online Message Board. (The person
in charge of that board is planning on upgrading it to phpBB format.)

Earlier on in this thread, I said that even though a new big screen movie
version of Knight Rider was in the planning stages, there were no plans
for a new Knight Rider TV series. Well, apparently there are plans for
a new Knight Rider TV series, as well as a cinematic KR movie.
More details in this thread @ the KR Online Message Board . . .

Whoa! I forgot this show existed. It was so cool when I watched reruns of it over and over back in the day.

Michael Knight (from Knight Rider) is in Sydney.
News.com.au: Hoff hits reverse:
| Quote: | IT was the world's smartest car and he was the slickest man on television.
Fast forward 20 years and the retro super stud David Hasselhoff was yesterday reunited in Sydney with KITT, the artificially intelligent Trans-Am with which he fought crime as Michael Knight on Knight Rider.
"Michael, we're in the wrong country," the Hoff, in character as Knight yelled to himself as he realised the replica model wasn't left-hand drive like the US original.
"That's actually the first one I've seen that's right-hand drive."
As he met a handful of fully fledged Hoff fanatics, the visiting ex-Baywatch budgie smuggler proponent told Confidential the Australian version of the infamous talking car - fitted out by Knight Rider nut Rod Unsworth - was one of the best he had seen.
"I've seen about 22 of these over the years, all over the place," the Hoff said.
"The best one I ever saw was in Holland."
The Hoff - the world's most watched TV star according to the Guinness Book of World Records - was in hot demand yesterday.
In between interviews he fitted in more preparations for his appearances at Sunday's ARIAs and the Foxtel 10th birthday bash.
He's set to be a star attraction at both events - it's Hofficial. |

From It's just going Hoff (News.com.au, 23 Oct 2005),
David Hasselhoff is going to spend Christmas in Australia and he was in Randwick performing a "rock song." (I live in Randwick  )
| Quote: | It's just going Hoff (News.com.au, 23 Oct 2005)
CULT comeback king David Hasselhoff will spend Christmas in Australia before starting a world tour here next year.
"I have already talked to my kids about spending Christmas here, at Surfers Paradise," he said.
"They (Taylor-Ann, 15, and Hayley, 13) are boy- crazy and I said: 'You will love Surfers Paradise and have a blast'."
Hasselhoff will perform a "rock song" at Foxtel's 10th birthday celebration at Randwick today before heading to Homebush to be a special guest presenter for the ARIAs.
"I'm not going to perform at the ARIAs," he said.
"Those people are here to see their much-loved bands and people really don't want to know what I do."
Hasselhoff, who also filmed a new commercial for Pepsi's white campaign on Friday, said the main reason for his visit was to gauge interest from his Australian fans for a concert tour.
"The main reason that I came was to test the waters to see if there is an audience for a world tour to be started here in Australia," he said.
He is still working out the details with promoter Michael Chugg but Hasselhoff is confident his world tour will start in Australia early next year.
"We haven't even announced it yet because we don't have the theatres or the dates," he said.
Hasselhoff was in London, starring in a stage production of Chicago, when old mate and Australian Idol judge Mark Holden rang him with the news that Chugg wanted him to tour Australia.
"He said: 'Mate you're not going to believe this but Chugg Entertainment wants to do a show'," he said.
This offer only came after an outbreak of online "Hoffmania" made the once-derided star of Baywatch and Knight Rider a cult figure to a new generation of fans worldwide.
"My sister's daughter from Houston calls me up and says, have you seen this stuff exploding on the Internet," he said. "Then I got a call from one of your newspapers here asking me how I felt about being a pin-up at 53. It's like it's insane."
Hoffmania includes everything from jokes to calendars and graphics playing on the name of the Baywatch and Knight Rider actor, who is credited with being the most-watched television star in the world.
"It's like the bird flu," joked Hasselhoff, who said the Hoffmania phenomenon had even reached India where he recently won a Bollywood Award.
While he is in town, he wants to show wife Pamela around Sydney Harbour and Avalon, where he once wanted to film Baywatch before residents mounted a protest. "I want to show her Avalon where we got thrown out of, because I just think it's so funny," he said. |
