reddsun1 Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Yup, I bet even now, the PR honchos at GM are deliberating which vehicles will be in the lineup for this commer--oh, I mean movie... Quote
big F Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) What? Can't play Devon you say? Pish Posh! Since when have previous chapters or already established storylines ever stopped the Hollywood hacks? There's no such thing as "canon" when there's money to be made! So true REBOOT I say REEBOOT GM boys: "but we want KITT to transform" Film Guy: " Thats in the Transformers you cant do that" GM boys: "So what, We want a robot car"...... "Heres some money" Film Guy: "O.K" Later much later....... MK: "K.I.T.T Transform and stomp the bad guys" Edited July 27, 2007 by big F Quote
areaseven Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Breaking News: KITT will NOT be a Koenigsegg. He will be an American car, but not a Firebird Trans-Am. Exclusive First Pictures of KITT from the New Knight Rider Quote
myk Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 ...And there I was, thinking that KITT couldn't look any dumber than he was in the 80's. Are the 'pics in that link worked over? I love Mustangs as much as the next guy, but that my friends just redefines ridiculous... Quote
terry the lone wolf Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Y'know, I never really noticed KITT's shifting red light effect was similar to the Cylons on classic BSG. Didn't Glen Larsen create KR too? Quote
Hikuro Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 Damn I just wanna call BS on this guy so much...."source wants to be annoynums" whatever....their source was G4. I just got that feeling Still yeah, I'm a little dissapointed going from a fancy sports car to yet ANOTHER american line...probably had something to do with transformers or whatever. Quote
big F Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 (edited) Y'know, I never really noticed KITT's shifting red light effect was similar to the Cylons on classic BSG. Didn't Glen Larsen create KR too? YUP! Glen A Larson created a lot of stuff including Knight Rider BSG 80's Buck Rogers AirWolf IIRC also Manimal and maybe Automan too. Im sur someone here can provide a complete list. I love the Stang but I kinda looks like an Evil Alt of the Binaltech WheelJack or Barricades less well off cousin. I'm sure the car will rock even if the rest of the film is a steaming pile of cow products. Edited December 1, 2007 by big F Quote
Vermillion21 Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 New KITT looks like a pile of KRAP ..... meh. Quote
chrono Posted December 1, 2007 Posted December 1, 2007 That is a flat out SHOP job! Lack of reflections, digital noise not from a camera, clear edge outlines, lack of color shift, etc... Quote
Guest sh002 Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 the car looks good but not as the new knight rider. Quote
EXO Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 That is a flat out SHOP job! Lack of reflections, digital noise not from a camera, clear edge outlines, lack of color shift, etc... Plus the fact that the article said it was photoshopped, I think that was the big tip-off... But, because "it wasn't working at the effects studio yesterday," someone did photoshop the red light. Quote
bsu legato Posted December 2, 2007 Posted December 2, 2007 Plus the fact that the article said it was photoshopped, I think that was the big tip-off... Don't be such a spoilsport, EXO. You know it can't be a complete thread until somebody cries "Photoshopped!" Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 I'm kind of surprised they didn't use the 2009 Camaro concept... Quote
chrono Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Plus the fact that the article said it was photoshopped, I think that was the big tip-off... Well that's nice. Quote
Lonely Soldier Boy Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Pff! Another gas guzzler. Shouldn't KITT go with the times and be a hybrid or something? I realize a Toyota Prius is not as exciting as a Mustang, but he's supposed to be the most advanced car in the world and nowadays that means renewable energy sources AND Horsepower. Quote
valkyrie13 Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Could be "counter-intelligence" or a marketing ploy to throw speculating fans off and continue with production quietly. Plus, having a debatable car as a poster candidate could stir up interest (whether positive or negative).... Quote
Greyryder Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 I like the Mustang, I think it works. It would certainly make things more interesting, should the Three Thousand, ever meet the Two Thousand. A hybrid? No. KITT needs to ba able to break 80mph without flying apart. Besides, the original KITT was supposed to be powered by some sort of a turbine engine. I doubt that this one has a regular old V8 within the universe. Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Aw gawd, it's true: Neo-KITT Quote
misterryno Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 ohh no... not a knight rider movie..... >_< I can see the HoffHassel making an appearance as well lol. I would have preffered Knight Boat. "Ohh great, they are getting away!" <Not so fast Michael, look.. a fiorge..> rofl. Hey man.....Don't Hassle The Hoff" LMAO Quote
myk Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Where's Knight Rider 2010 when you need it? Quote
misterryno Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Aw gawd, it's true: Neo-KITT BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I just hate it that they made K.I.T.T. a freakin mustang. That car has nothing on the original.....NOTHING!!! Quote
eugimon Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 at least it's a regular car and not some wierd "futuristic" car like in past knight rider reboots. but I agree, the mustang just feels wrong for kitt. Quote
myk Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I just hate it that they made K.I.T.T. a freakin mustang. That car has nothing on the original.....NOTHING!!! Actually, the new idea is exactly like the original car and that's why it's a bad idea. If you're going to take a childish, 80's concept like a sentient, crime fighting car into the present you should at least make it look like a vehicle that no one has ever laid their eyes upon, a vehicle that could only be seen in the wildest of fantasies, not a garden variety car that you could find in the auto-trader like a Mustang or a Trans-Am. Or course, you don't want it looking like the too-futuristic Banshee concept car that they used in Knight Rider 2000. Bottom line: this is just a bad idea period... Edited December 13, 2007 by myk Quote
areaseven Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 God, I hope they don't actually use that ricer wing. That's just as lame as the original K.I.T.T.'s Super Pursuit Mode. Quote

Okay Okay......I'll give you that. Maybe KITT should'nt even be a car. I think KITT should be a VF-1S Valk. Quote
eugimon Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) but the whole point is that kitt could drive around and be annonymous... bad guys would be like, "oy, there's a regular black car behind us, no worries!" not "oy, there's some super car from the future behind us! FEAR!!!" Edited December 13, 2007 by eugimon Quote

Valkyrie Hunter D Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 It's weird, I love muscle cars and I liked Knight Rider as a kid. So combining the two for a new design should be a winning combo, right? Nope. Knowing that a Shelby 500 GT will now be linked to something as campy as KR just raises the hair on the back of neck. Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 And yeah, that double wing has to go. Ugh. Quote

JB0 Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Isn't that the idea they used in Viper? Viper mixed both approaches. It was an apparently-stock Viper that TRANSFORMED INTO a future-car through the miracle of badly-planned CG animation. Quote
eugimon Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Viper mixed both approaches. It was an apparently-stock Viper that TRANSFORMED INTO a future-car through the miracle of badly-planned CG animation. badly planned CG = ripped off tim burton's batmobile. Quote
misterryno Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 badly planned CG = ripped off tim burton's batmobile. Bad or not.....you guys know that when you saw that car morph into an even more bad a** car, even though you were thinkin "yeah f'in right like that could really happen", you wished you had a car that could do that.
