Both LadyV2000 and PhoenixWS6 had officially threatened to boycott the movie if KITT is an import/tuner, and it appears there are many others who feel the same way. However, if this movie is ever made, I think the producers' car of choice will be the one that will generate the most revenue. A newer model car will not only attract a newer crowd, but let's face it, all of us will pay to see it (even if we hate the car choice)....LadyV2000 wrote:KITT as a rice burner? I would boycott the movie just for that! Knight Rider should not be mixed with the Fast and the Furious. Though it might sell, and I mean might, for me it would ruin the image of KITT. If no one can really agree with a new body, just keep his original 3rd Gen. Or if they can do it properly, have the old and a new somehow.
You pose a very good question, and I'm not completely certain on my answer, but... I would most likely set the movie in the present day era. I have no problem using David Hasselhoff for Michael Knight, but for a higher movie-goer response, the director will probably use someone else and just have Hasselhoff make a visual.Haley wrote:It appears that there is a number of Knight Rider fans who share your opinion, and I have to admit that part of me agrees completely. Would you then set the movie back in the 80's? Would you still use the 50+ year old David Hasselhoff for Michael Knight's role?coppernite wrote:hmm.... after reading this, I have to say that I'm glad I not the only one who wants to keep KITT the model he was, just modified. After all, no matter when you grew up, people will always love the classics, and there's no way they coldn't either. KITT (and the '82 T/A ingeneral) was a beautiful car. After all, he did have the MBS.......
I'd be all for seeing KITT in a new body, but at the very least just make a domestic model. If they want to have some tuners in movie somewhere else, go right ahead, just as long KITT isn't the one with the ugly paint job and bad ground effects. (Can you tell I'm not a fan of tuners?:twisted:) Actually I think a race scene between a few ricers and KITT would make a very entertaining part of the movie.89 formula wrote:Both LadyV2000 and PhoenixWS6 had officially threatened to boycott the movie if KITT is an import/tuner, and it appears there are many others who feel the same way.

When the Fast and the Furious (I can't spell) came out, people had to go buy one of the many types of cars that they showed in the movie. But don't get me wrong, I love the old school Trams Am (I just found a '82 and bought it), but to "update" the show image, they would have to go with a newer car.... but is does not mean that they have to go with a import... the '02 Trans Am is still a good chose. (to those who still love the Trams Am, I appaude you) oh, I still can't spell)
