'Knight Rider' to be made into a movie
Published Thursday, May 11 2006, 01:36 BST | By Peter Stiff
Classic '80s TV series Knight Rider is being revived for the big screen
The show's creator, Glen A. Larson, has agreed to write the film but has refused to poke fun at the series, which featured David Hasselhoff alongside a talking car.
"A number of people wanted to do a pure comedic send-up of it, but I always felt that would throw away the franchise," Larson told The Hollywood Reporter. "There was always some humour on the show but this film will probably have more gallows, foxhole humour."
Larson did not reveal whether Hasselhoff or William Daniels, the TV voice of K.I.T.T. - the talking car - would be involved in his screen version.
