Dammit no, yesterday I woke up with the idea of a knight rider reboot where Kitt is a barely functioning cyber truck, Nic Cage is a 25 year old Michael and the script is 100% AI written.

Holy fuck someone give this man a blank check and a box truck full of four loko

That is something Elon Musk would come up, except the protagonist is now him AIed over another actor. And of course the bad guys are people infected with the woke mind virus who don't let white people to call black people the hard-R N-word, trans people using the bathroom, etc.

You just described precisely the reason this needs to happen

Is there a single person who would not pay money to watch Nic Cage in a serious role portraying a "cool guy" while speaking in Gen Z slang.

It would be as good as letting MS Song Smith generate soundtrack for "Whiplash" 🤭

I don't give a shit about David Hasselhoff, but Knight Rider without Mr Feeney as KITT wouldn't be the same

William Daniels. Holy shit he's still alive 97 years old. He's been married to the same person for 73 years wtf!

There was one in 2008 actually. But it isn't very good, not that the original is some masterpiece either OTOH. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_Rider_%282008_TV_series%29?wprov=sfla1

KITT is a Tesla that goes evil and Michael is a l337 hacker trying to make it stop.

Like many other shows, this one was a product of its time and wouldn't work today.
Talking, intelligent car decades ago? "Oh wow! Futuristic!"
Talking car today: "hey Google, play Tiptoe Through The Tulips on 120% volume"

It’s called Street Hawk

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Why not Airwolf, or Knight Rider with a helicopter?

....hey I've seen this one before!

[–] citrusface@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Yeah but KITT is cool tho.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Renegade (old show featuring Lorenzo Lamas) or Space above and Beyond (which only ran for one season).

Gotta admit, I’d at least give the first episode a chance. It’s unlikely to be worthwhile, but the idea could have potential in the right hands.

If you want to see what it would be like in the wrong hands: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1213404/

OMG. That trailer was one of the most cringeworthy things I’ve ever seen. Wow. Thanks for the laughs!
