LOS ANGELES, May 9 (UPI) -- Hollywood's long-time plan to bring K.I.T.T., TV's talking "Knight Rider" car, to the big screen has shifted into high gear.
Glen A. Larson, who created the 1982-86 TV series starring David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, is writing and executive producing the project recently acquired by the Weinsten Co. from Sony's Revolution Studios, The Hollywood Reporter said Tuesday.
"A number of people wanted to do a pure comedic send-up of it, but I always felt that would throw away the franchise," Larson told The Reporter. "There was always some humor on the show but this film will probably have more gallows, foxhole humor."
However, he said, he was shooting for a PG-13 rating.
Larson did not reveal whether Hasselhoff or William Daniels, the TV voice of K.I.T.T., would be involved in his screen version.
