The will they or won't they saga of making a Knight Rider movie continues. Ain't it Cool has a collection of rumors about the latest goings on with the project. Here's the short version. The pics recently floating around that were touted to be the new K.I.T.T., shown here, aren't real. However, one tipster suggests that the concept Camaro from recent auto shows is a possibility. The involvement of Orlando Bloom as Michael's son also seems to be false. It is explained as the result of a conversation between Bloom and Hasselhoff at an awards show. According to the tipster Hasselhoff has no official involvement in the movie and there is currently no part in it for him.
It seems that he has something of a rocky relationship with Knight Rider creator Glen A. Larson. They compare Hasselhoff's behind the scenes actions to all of the Richard Hatch Battlestar Galactica stuff that preceded the Ron Moore version.
The piece is an interesting read for fans of the show. But I am left wondering, with the luke-warm reactions to so many of the recent TV to movie projects, is there really a market for the Knight Rider movie?

I would be so happy if they reimagained Knight Rider like they did Battlestar - that show had a huge influence on me when I was growing up.
