quote:April 30, 2003 - The often reliable industry insider website 4Filmmakers.com is reporting that Ashton Kutcher (That '70s Show, Dude, Where's My Car?, Just Married) is set to star in the forthcoming big-screen adaptation of Knight Rider. As previously reported, the Revolution Studios project will "overhaul" the Knight Rider concept in order to target "young, action-oriented moviegoers."
Meanwhile, Sci Fi Wire talked to David Hasselhoff who confirmed that he's still set to executive produce the film version. The former Baywatch star says he's also involved with a new TV version of the classic '80s show. "I think for the film, we're going to go one way, and for the television series another way," he says.
The original series revolved around the mysterious crime fighter known as Michael Knight and KITT, his custom black Trans Am that was capable of speeds greater than 300 MPH and "turbo boosting" 50 feet into the air upon voice command.
