Get ready for Knight Rider !!
By fred | September 27, 2007
No, not a misprint, a mistake, a joke, or something inspired from a very old news misdated. NBC is seriously considering bringing Knight Rider back on the air. Sort of.
After the success of the shitty movie Transformers - cause that movie was really bad - some moron exec over a NBC had a stupid brilliant idea : create a show about a single man fighting for justice with the help of his superadvanced, transforming, talking car. A car which logo will have a lot of screen time, even better product placement than on Heroes.
NBC actually ordered a TV movie pilot of the show, that will be written by Dave Andron (who worked on the quickly canceled show Raines) and (possibly) directed by Doug Liman (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, The Bourne Identity).
Doesn’t mean Jeff Goldblum will be starring though, but hopefully it will last as long as Raines did. Because that’s such a bad idea I threw up when I first read about it. It’s only there because they feel Knight Rider is enough of a pre-sold brand to lure an audience, and that’s always better than developing brand new, imaginative, challenging new shows.
Besides, those never work. Really, anyone heard of Lost ? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
