"Viper" originally Knight Rider?

[Nicholas Knight]

I heard an very interesting rumor. I wanna know what you guys think. -->

After the Knight Rider 2010 TV movie, (which due to licensing problems....had no KITT, no Hoff, nothing related to the Original Series) didn't get the fans excited and had terrible reviews and ratings, NBC Universal was given a script that reboots Knight Rider with improved special FX and has elements of the original....(Supercar, loner given a second chance at life due to a secret Foundation......and a CURRENT theme , which was the main issue of why they didn't make the Knight Rider 2000 TV series in 1991) But again, there was licensing problems, but decided to make a TV movie anyway. But the script had to be changed......supercar, but it couldn't talk , A guy with a mysterious past given a new life and identity.....but no facial changes. Have a TV series in the VEIN of Knight Rider, but Not Knight Rider. Have a couple of nods.......like slight vehicle modifications...grappling hooks..invincible armor...TURBINE BOOSTERS.......and have the car do things like KITT would. And when all the changes had taken place, even the familiar Firebird Trans Am which involved a new style of Super Pursuit mode had to been chosen to be replaced by a Dodge Viper which had an ATTACK mode. Even some of the cast of Knight Rider 2010 became part of the cast in the new TV Movie later turned into a series......Viper.

I think I remember knightimmortal,an old moderator on this board,once telling me that she heard the producers on viper say they were going for a reproduction of knight rider when they were creating the show.The star got a new face and went from criminal to undercover government operative.The car may not have had turbo boost or could talk but it was a great gadget car show.Also I do remember one episode in the later seasons where there was a spark that had artaficial intelligence it eventually entered the viper and Frankie said,"Wow a talking car."
