Hmmmmmm... I kinda thought the blue suit and red cape would give it away.

It's a joke... I never honestly thought anyone would take it seriously.

Sorry guys... I couldn't help myself. I was REALLY bored at the office today, hahaha!

Nelson B is correct... I shot it at the Little Rock car show... it's Louisell's replica with a really short dude posing as Superman.

Not exactly the look I was expecting... but it's SUPER cool to see that he'll be in the classic KITT at some point in the movie.

the chevy-orange 350 (why not pontiac blue?) with the gaudy weiand blower intake doesn't exactly look like a turbine engine. :roll: It would be chevy orange since Pontiac quit putting ponchos in their cars since 1979. It was cheaper to just use the same engine across all 3 brands of GM vehicles. I ...

uh... errrr.... hmmm.... call me crazy, but I'm thinking that "Knight Rider" would be a great title.

I would say it's more a case of too few coupes being on the market... and even fewer manufacturers willing to typecast their flagship sports cars to a made-for-TV movie.

for the new KITT... NBC or W... i would love to see the whole control panel use an animated touch screen interface, a'la iphone. readouts and buttons could change as needed. as a matter of fact, it would be GREAT to see a little product placement with apple. my fanboy gauge would be pegged...

... as is Nissan, which I was hoping would cross over to KR. Oh well...

The Acura is nice... but the Nissan GT-R shouldn't be overlooked. Very nice lines that are somewhat reminiscent of the third gen. T/A. It's less exotic that the Acura... but then again, KITT was never an exotic-styled vehicle. VK, overlook the NBCU logos... I was very bored at work. :) http://aycu22...

Hmm.... the car of tomorrow... with the look of yesterday?

I'm not buying it.... not in that state. Even after disregarding the horrible Photoshop work, the scanner is an AWFUL design. It's possible that the Mustang could be one of the shapeshifting cars, I guess.

It sounds like the NBC script was finished before the strike...

I'm going to come right out and say it... IMHO, if the NBC project hits the airwaves, there will be no Larson/Weinstein movie in theaters. That's not to say that I don't want a Larson-scripted KR feature... but I just don't see the project getting financial and studio support after, success or fail,...

...and take out the stinking Pontiac logo.

...and just so you guys don't think I'm nuts, here are pics of Rob and Barris at the show together. The show was fun... I had NO clue there was going to be anything KR related there... http://www.knightfoundation.net/07_b0ard/viewtopic.php?t=8044 http://www.knightfoundation.net/07_b0ard/viewtopic.ph...

That would be interesting considering Universal sanctioned George Barris on Michael Scheffe's behalf issuing a cease and desist order on making any more claims to designing the K.I.T.T. car or producing further replicas as well as the DeLorean from BTTF. http://www.spencer1984.com/serendipity/index...

Take this with a GIGANTIC grain of salt... I spoke with Rob Louisell at a Little Rock car show... he claimed that George Barris approached him at the show...mentioned that he's talking to NBC/Univ. about the pilot, then asked if he would be up for using his replica in the production. Rob said the sh...

VC- Without giving away details, how did Larson handle the exact make and model of KITT in the script? Did he have a particular car in mind, much like in his pilot script? Did he leave it open for product placement? Did he specify a fully custom, one-off vehicle for KITT, like KR2000?

For a example of having actors returning to their roles succesfully after 15 years look at the first Dukes Of Hazzard reunion in 1997 The ratings were as good as the original show and the actors had no trouble doing stunts although they were 12 years older I say if David Hasselhoff feels he can be ...

Just use the Trans Am concept based off the new Camaro. To my knowledge, there is no official 09 T/A concept... only uncommisioned fan art. I could be wrong, though... someone hit me with a link if there is something. IMHO, the new F-body is far too late 60s/70s inspired to make a good KITT. ...I g...

Wow.. no love for the Nissan? Flat, angular lines...low, wide stance... non-exotic, yet cool and sporty production vehicle... 2+2 seating config...and most importantly, the manufacturer already having product placement deals intact with the network...AND it's a brand-new vehicle, much like the third...

VIPER-esque shapeshifting... but no turbo boost? I'm out.

CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR......PONTIAC RAGEOUS....Best concept car in the running for a Knight Industries vehicle the rageous... from the mid-90s??!?! where's the vomiting emoticon? even with the shapeshifting, there has to be a "base" for KITT...and i would HATE to see it as something "exo...

i like the lines of the acura, but it's a concept... more than likely not going into production. kitt is a car that, while sporty and flashy, can blend into ordinary traffic. the acura is too... i don't know... KIFT for my tastes. stands out WAY too much, and won't age well at all.... plus, nissan a...
