Knight Rider new movie for 2005!

[LadyV2000]

LOL. Don't worry fantine, I agree with you totally. KR2000 was lame, and it should just seriously be disregarded.

[Alex T.]

Ya, I agree KR2000 should be disregarded. However, we cannot disregard the fact that actor Edward Mulhare (RIP) has passed. Someone will need to replace his character. Maybe the start of the new movie should be a funeral for Devon Miles, could be a great sombre moment to starting the film. David could be the star of the movie and goes on one last mission, at the end he gets appointed to run the Foundation and they find someone new to drive with K.I.T.T.

I think KR2000 should be included as part of it... Alot of you bring up valid points but it was part of the Knight Rider saga... and to simply disregard it would be an insult to all the actors who took part in it plus Edward Mulhare himself. So I believe if they were to bring out a movie it should continue but maybe after the fact of knight rider 2000... however i doubt the actress that played shawn and Carmen argenziano (sp?) (maddock) would want anything to do with it so maybe Michael could be in charge of the foundation and maybe even by that time they would have rebuilt Kitt into his original form I mean they did basically leave one to believe they coulda rebuilt him had they had more time.

looks like there are news here:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0384254/boa ... d/18412548

still nothing's confirmed though

[Lost Knight]

As I said in one of the other few threads about this movie, I don't see how they can ignore the events of Knight Rider 2000. We know that Edward Mulhare has passed away, so that means to include Devon in the new film they either have to acknowledge his death, find a new actor to play him, or intertwine some archival footage in a dream sequence or something. I think it would be pretty lame making up a new way for Devon to die after most Knight Rider fans saw Watts kill him. I say include the events of KR2K. They don't need heavy emphasis on it, but it would help tie up a few potential loose ends.

[JJSoCrazy]

If the movie is made, David shouldn't be Michael Knight again because MK was a YOUNG PERSON, not an almost 60 year old guy. Hasselhoff without a doubt should be the new leader as devon, have KITT with the original voice, and a young person to teach him the tricks and give the story a little twist. As well has have KITT come back as the original and then be changed into a new car. If Glen A. Larson is involved, it will go good!

[Michael Pajaro]

I still don't buy any of the stuff in that forum. When somebody says "here's latest info regarding this movie (gained from close source)" I immediately have my duobts. I saw Hasselhoff 2 days ago - I would think that he would have mentioned SOMETHING about having a script ready if it really was that far along. I'm not saying he'd give any plot details, but he'd give some indication of the status.

[Lost Knight]

I agree. I immediately was skeptical of the information when I first saw it and thought it was pretty obvious that it was hearsay. I go by "official" confirmations preferably from the horse's mouth.

[LadyV2000]

Yep, same here. I'm not going to believe a thing until I hear from either David or Glen. Anyone can say they heard it from a "reliable source," which could just as easily be there own imaginations.

[KARR_Knight]

I still think that should make a new Knight of the Phoenix, I just cant see a continuence of the story working because it would end up as a new Knight Rider 2000 with Michael Knight in his 50's fighting crime & end up as a strait to dvd release. You guys have to understand the fact that the era of Knight Rider from the 80's has passed & will never be the same again no matter if you do use the original cast. The fact is no studio in their right mind would ever make a huge movie starring David Hasselhoff, (as you can see he is popping in & out of recent movies as a novelty) Im not showing disrespect to DH he's just not a big screen star, he never really was around after KR except Baywatch, Phantom of the opera & overseas with his music career, he's always been a TV star & never made the transition to big screen stardom. You really have to agree a serious remake of Knight of the Phoenix with a modern cast is really is the best root for the movie to get a good budget & be successful & open a whole new audience to Knight Rider plus bring it back strong instead of some ridiculous strait to dvd or tv movie. You have to understand that the movie industry is a business & they dont make movies for fans they are in it to make a buck, & that is reason why we will never see a new KR movie with Hasselhoff revising his role as Michael Knight & if they will ever make a new movie at all. But with the all the retro movies coming out of late i still have hope although it would have to be done seriously instead of some mockery.

I WOULD be nice if they had KARR in it.

Michael doesn't wear a seatbelt, KITT had passive restraint system installed, which requires no seatbelt to be worn

[AtariKnight]

I WOULD be nice if they had KARR in it.

Thats what I want, A definative end to KARR.

Structure the movie around the final showdown between KITT and KARR, Great for the fans and an something odd for Non-Fans

[KFCreator]

Well, I know some of you probably think I totally abandoned my "Knight Force" fan fic series that I kinda started on over 5 years ago but today I think I had a breakthrough in my writer's block and I think I have come up with a great way to tie in the original series to a new series while only having to nod in acknowledgement that KR2000 happened wthout having to explain much (if any of it). I'll fill you in on the general storyline synopsis in the coming weeks when I have time to really hammer out the finer details of the story and incorporate some twists and come up with a subplot or two. But trust me, this is gonna be an action-packed AWESOME revival of classic KR and it will feature a new team of 4 members (who will work together with a brand new KITT), feature Michael as the new head of FLAG, see the return of Bonnie and RC3 and possibly see the return of some other characters as well.

As far as my thoughts on a new movie/series and with what happened in KR2000, this has really been the biggest obstacle for me in terms of writing this fan fic series. I wanted to come up with something that would make sense and appeal to old fans as well as draw in new ones yet not confuse them with the events of KR2000 if they didn't see it. My solution is to elude to Maddock and Shawn and the tomato-on-wheels KITT but don't actually feature any of it directly in the story.

Definitely I think it's crucial to acknowledge that Devon's death did happen and that's the biggest reason that I think KR2000 needs to be incorporated somehow. Also, while many agree that KR2000 was a big disappointment in terms of the story and the tone of it overall (much darker than the original series), I think we have to accept it still. Disregarding it would create a gigantic discontinuity in the KR universe and chalking it up to an "alternate reality" is stupid IMO. But like I said, I think I have come up with a really good way to work around most of the events in KR2000 without incorporating any of those actors or the now-disassembled Knight 4000. But yes, I say acknowledge KR2000 but don't take on the burden of needing to feature it prominently in the new movie/series.

[FuzzieDice]

Thats what I want, A definative end to KARR.

(Quoting KARR...) NOOOOOO!!!

I actually hoped KARR would live, and turn into a good guy instead. I'd hate to have him gone forever. I loved that car as well.

[neps]

I'm not sure if KARR or Garthe would work as the villain. They need to reach a wider audience and I'm not sure the general public will accept on the first movie to have two cars fight each other (they'll probably get confused which is which) or have Hasselhoff do dual roles.

They need a bigger villain. Maybe someone who is trying to take over the world, or something larger than breaking into a fort in the dessert in California. We need to think big.

[FuzzieDice]

I guess for a movie it would get confusing. But if KARR ended up early on in the movie as a friend and not a foe... or maybe they spin off a series from the movie (wasn't there talk of it?) and KARR return as a friend who would make occasional appearances, maybe 3 - 4 per season? That'd be cool.

As for the movie, I guess when it gets down to it, it'd be probably best to establish KITT in a new, updated time-line and version, with a new story, maybe a couple new characters.

[KidlovingKitt]

I love the Black 82 Pontiac Transam and i would want that they use that same car again(maybe with a few little changes if they have to) in a future Knight Rider Movie and i think it is still one of the best looking cars(my opinion)

[Yetiii98]

after reading a few posts about should kr2000 be included in someway in a new movie and possible consequences to continuity etc....anyone seen the Highlander films? Anyone who has will know the events of Highlander 2 couldnt happen if Highlander 4 "End Game" is part of the Highlander movies. I think KR2000 should be ignored, and agree with the start of the film should be a funeral of Devon, maybe as it starts maybe a few flash backs from the TV series so new fans know who he is.

Now my thought on a plot:

KARR has been found and rebuilt by an organisation and they recruit a troublesome youngman, maybe through blackmail etc, to drive and control KARR, Michael Knight is head of FLAG and another operative is driving a new vehicle, and pursues KARR and driver and gets killed, forcing Michael and KITT to come out of "retirement" for one last mission. They suceed in destroying KARR and taking down the organisation, and end up recruiting KARR's driver to work for FLAG...this would allow future sequels should they so desire.

In my opinion, this would please original fans due to KITT and Michael saving the day, introduce the concept and characters to new fans and allow for a new hero to carry on..after all if future films are made, David is getting older.

[Lost Knight]

I think KR2000 should be ignored, and agree with the start of the film should be a funeral of Devon, maybe as it starts maybe a few flash backs from the TV series so new fans know who he is.

But doesn't that mean that Devon's death has to be rewritten? Acknowledging his death in the first place automatically references Knight Rider 2000 in my opinion. I know it would annoy me to see this movie follow the same route as the Highlander films, which apparently didn't care about continuity.

[March2875]

Continuality is already ruined. No Matter how you look at it. It can never be restored. Its impossible to include the original show, KR 2000 and TKR all in the same Universe The original can only go with either KR2000 or TKR but not both. Devon died in both versions. In TKR he died in 97 or earlier in KR2000 He died in 2000. Edward Mulhare passed away in May 97.

The best route is to ignore both KR2000 and TKR and start the movie off of the original. Giving us 3 different story arcs. Their can never be just one again.

[Lost Knight]

I only consider Knight Rider 2000 as canon. It's the only spin-off that had the original characters and properly followed continuity from the original series. Team Knight Rider and Knight Rider 2010 went off in their own directions and made up their own rules. While I didn't like KR2K either, I didn't find it as embarrassing as the other spin-offs. Boring and dragged out, yes, but not necessarily embarrassing.

Aside from the terrible future predictions the movie had, as far as the characters were concerned, I found KR2K to be the most logical extrapolation of the story. It makes sense that Michael would quit the Foundation and burn out (as hinted in the series) and that K.I.T.T. would eventually be rendered obsolete, etc. What sounds silly to me is that a bunch of vehicles "morph" into some TransFormer-type thing or an apocalyptic future that pretty much ignored KR altogether. I say that with all due respect to the people who are fans of these spin-offs as it's just my opinion.

[thenormal]

I agree. I immediately was skeptical of the information when I first saw it and thought it was pretty obvious that it was hearsay. I go by "official" confirmations preferably from the horse's mouth.

I'd give the guy who posted that imdb news some credits. I remember reading a message in michael's biehn site (i'm not a fan but i liked some of his performances) the actor himself wrote like 2 months ago. he briefly said that he was approached for a role as an antagonist in a fast-and-furious-like movie and that he'd probably skipped it because he was having troubles with his family.

But i am a Matrix fan and i remember a conversation in one of the matrix message boards. A couple dudes were talking about the wachowski brothers looking forward to be part of an hollywood big production for a movie about a "hero's return" while working on their new movie V For Vendetta as producers.
