KITT is back and on the big screen

KITT The Movie Star? - - Source: Autoexpress

One of the most famous TV cars of all-time could be set for a comeback. KITT, the black Pontiac Trans Am from the Eighties adventure series Knight Rider, is to become a big-screen hero. Movie bosses and actor David Hasselhoff are working on a script for an action movie.

But Pontiac doesn't produce the Trans-Am anymore. What are they going to use instead? A Grand - Am?

No...I'd love it if it was a Fast and the Furious type movie and the OLD (before the pop out boosters and sh!T) KITT entered the race. Like Starsky and H...campy but fun to todays car fans too. Most "real" car fans know and respect that the TA was a force for a long time. Heck..even in BOTH F&F movies, American muscle saves the day.

They could have fun.
