When the modern day Knight Rider tv movie was shown a couple of months ago, pundits criticized the schlocky story and iffy acting but everyone agreed that Kitt was beyond cool. For the upcoming series, producers felt they needed to kick things up a notch and make Kitt a bit more extreme.
At the 2008 edition of Comic Con earlier this week, NBC unveiled the decidedly more aggressive looking Kitt Attack version. They also sent in the Comic Con Virgin to do a few interviews and catch the reveal.
Any guy who grew up with the original Knight Rider series would be lying if they told you they didn’t dream of cruising main street in Michael Knight’s sweet ride. With the reincarnated series about to launch, that lucky guy Leno meets with the creators of the newest Kitt, based on the Mustang GT500KR.
Typically I am not a fan of sequels but the producers of this movie say it’s not a sequel but a continuation. From what I can see in the trailer I get the impression it may even be much better than the original. Besides anytime you move from a GM up to a Ford it’s an improvement.
