A Knight Rider movie is happening

There was also an entire sequel TV series and companion film in 2008. Val Kilmer was the voice of KITT.

It lasted one season.

I’m not particularly excited about yet another reboot of this franchise. The original was cheesy but a product of its time.

I just don’t get this misplaced 80s nostalgia that’s creating reboots of basically everything from that decade, often with disastrous results. (Although I must admit, the recent Jem and the Holograms reboot was quite great - if only because Juliette Lewis absolutely stole the whole fucking film with some amazing scenery chewing.)

I’d much rather see original properties in a 1980s aesthetic than yet another reboot of yet another 80s property. Where’s that feature-length Kung Fury already?
