So there has been much talk of a Knight Rider re-imagining, but since the success of this summer's blockbuster Transformers movie, it seems as though NBC is in full force to get this idea made into reality. Now this may be a few days late, but hey, since PCB has been out of town, I thought I'd clue you all in. Well, at least myself.
MSN.com is reporting the following:
"NBC is bringing back "Knight Rider," tapping Doug Liman to produce a "Transformers"-inspired reworking of the 1980s hit action-drama series about a man and his indestructible supercar.
The success of "Transformers" had a role in inspiring NBC Entertainment chief Ben Silverman's decision to revive "Knight." The thinking is that small-screen special visual effects have advanced to the point where it'd be feasible to have a weekly series in which cars shift shapes.

It's also likely the new show will explore the idea of "evil" cars to offset the heroic talking K.I.T.T. car of the original series, which starred David Hasselhoff. That said, the series is expected to essentially remain focused on the story of a single man fighting for justice with the help of his super-advanced car.
Dave Andron ("Raines") is writing the pilot script and will serve as supervising producer alongside exec producers Liman and Dave Bartis ("The O.C.," "Heist") for Universal Media Studios and Dutch Oven Productions."
So yeah. How about that? Still not convinced? Well what do you think about this?
