Knight Moves

Welcome to the latest edition of TV classic turned movie...

As someone who spent a lot of his formative years watching TV in the 80's, I must confess, I was a big fan of the action series Knight Rider. Created by Glen A. Larson and starring future "Baywatch" beach bum David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, the series told Knight's tales of daring doo with a bitchin' talking car named K.I.T.T. (voiced by the great William Daniels).

It seems that premise is speeding its way toward the big screen, courtesy of the folks at The Weinstein Company.

Variety's Ian Mohr has all of the preliminary details:

Believe it or not, I think if done right, this is one of the few TV series that has potential as a feature film--as long as Hasselhoff doesn't have to sing in it.
