Given the CGI revolution, its highly likely that the new Knight Rider movie (if its made), will feature some.
Here's a barometer of what CGI car action scenes will look like in the future. Bear in mind, these are very early test models... as the film is not released until summer 2006.

Deeplinking not allowed, you'll have to go directly to comingsoon.net and click on the spyhunter links.
I'm not sure Spyhunter is a good example of what a Knight Rider movie would look like. The opportunity for product placement in Knight Rider is much higher than that for Spy Hunter, and I expect that KITT will be a very "real" car. I'm sure some of the scenes will be enhanced by CG or done completely that way, but in general I think we'll see much more live action shots in Knight Rider.

Those Spy Hunter shots look awesome indeed....if they were for a video game. For a movie it's pathetic unless the entire movie is a CGI based cartoon. But they are early shots, I understand. My worries are that if the Spy Hunter movie comes out before the Knight Rider one that it will steal the hype for it. People might immediately start comparing the movies. Of course I believe K.I.T.T. is superior to the Interceptor in many ways, but I'm not sure if the general audience might see it that way.
The Interceptor is pretty extreme looking; it might be difficult for KR to find a car as wild looking, or find a more subtle car and convince audiences it can compete. It might end up being "cool" to like the Interceptor because its being driven by the big bad Rock and might have more mainstream appeal. Not to mention some people might think to themselves "Ah, they copied that from Spy Hunter; I liked that movie better." Let's hope KR comes out first and blows it away. Or, maybe I'm just overreacting and giving the whole thing too much thought?
