'Knight Rider' Hits the Gas

My thoughts.... Wow, its happened... another remake... thank god they are not bringing back the HOFF for this one!!!

 

Gentlemen, start your artificially intelligent, shape-shifting supercar engines: The "Knight Rider" remake has a premiere date.

NBC will unveil its updated version of the 1982-86 series with a two-hour movie on Sunday, Feb. 17. The film will also serve as a back-door pilot for a series targeted for the 2008-09 season.

The new "Knight Rider" centers on Mike Tracer (Justin Bruening), an ex-Army Ranger who, reluctantly at first, agrees to help childhood friend Sarah Graiman (Deanna Russo) find her missing father, Charles (Bruce Davison), the creator of KITT. The car comes equipped with myriad weapons, a computer capable of hacking just about anything and nanotechnology that allows the body to change shape and color if needed. Will Arnett of "Arrested Development" fame will provide the car's voice.

Sydney Tamiia Poitier also stars as an FBI agent and friend of Sarah's who helps in the search. Original "Knight Rider" star David Hasselhoff will make a cameo appearance.
