Who would you cast in the 'Knight Rider' Movie???
I feel that I was on the edge of highjacking 89 Formula's thread "What car would K.I.T.T be today? Don't read if tired of topic". And that is not right for me to do that to 89 Formula.
I'm sorry Formula
I heard that there was a Knight Rider movie in the works, so, I started this tread because I wanted to know what you think....
_____________________________________________________________
<b>Now I know that I am going to get shot for saying this......</b>
I think that the people that I think that are suited for the roles of Micheal, Bonnie, and Devon are:
1)Michael Knight - Michael Shanks, or that guy who played Chase on "24"
2)Bonnie - still debating on this part
3)Devon - Micheal Caine
Well here are my ideas.... what do you think??
And, yes I will be wearing the target on my chest all week, so please feel free to shoot anytime....
<b>And....</b>
I think that the Knight Rider theme would have to be redone... Not completely trashed and redone, no, just some tweaks here and there....
I think that the best people that should do this is....
1)Linkin Park (LPST, thank you)
2)Paul Oakenfold (If you haven't heard his remake of the Knight Rider theme.... find it, or e-mail me and I can help you)
3)Fatboy Slim (You got to find his remake to... it's pimp...)
I can go on and on, but I won't.
So what do you think.... Debate people, DEBATE!!!!

Yeah I agree, Tom Welling is the way to go in my eyes, he has this Michael Knight look to him somehow. Also his acting is similar to David's in some ways, a while ago when I made a movie poster for the upcoming movie I put Tom Welling in the credits. Cool to see that I am not the only one here that thinks Tom would make a good Michael.Knight Racer wrote:I would like Tom Welling to play Michael Knight because he has that chizzled look that David had back then,he may need a tan for the role.

DH doing Michael Knight that would be cool, to make the role is own again..... or to play Bonnie, how about that chick that plays the head chick on the fox t.v. show "Bones"......Lyn wrote:This may sound far-fetched, but another former co-star of D. Hasselhoff could make for a great Bonnie Barstow: Alexandra Paul, since she could help give KITT an electric car function.
Yeah, D. Hasselhoff himself can reprise the role of Michael Knight, and make the character his own once again.

I'm stunned. Whenever I watch Smallville I always think the same, that his acting is pretty similar to Hasselhoff (and thats a good thing in my eyes... ), but I thought it was just me.Solid Snake wrote: Yeah I agree, Tom Welling is the way to go in my eyes, he has this Michael Knight look to him somehow.

Yep, he would be perfect for that role. Or to be more precise, to the role of the Michael Knight 'successor' or son, whatever they plan it to be (as mentioned in the past).
There's only one Michael Knight and we know who does that role since the 1980s.

yeah, i thought of tom welling for the role of the driver as well.
from what i read david will still be michael knight in the movie, but due to his age will play the part devon had. michael's son will be the new driver of KITT, and that part definately fits to tom welling. he could defiantely pass as michaels son!

Well,Michael Pajaro wrote:I still have my alter-universe Knight Rider idea. It would kind of be a re-envisioning of the franchise, much darker than the original.
Michael: Johnny Depp
Devon: Christopher Walken
Bonnie: Halle Berry
Voice of KITT: Jeremy Irons
Directed by Tim Burton
I for one say if any re-imagining is done as well as the new Battlestar
Galactica, it would be an instant hit in my book. That new show is one
of the best things to hit the airwaves in a long time. We can only hope!

If I were in charge of the new movie, at this point in time, I’d more than likely make it a dark re-imagining of Knight Of The Phoenix set during the present day, exploring amongst other things, the emotional toll on Michael’s psyche due to the changes that are forced upon him as a result of his assignment to take down Cameron Zachery’s organisation. I’d use the emotional toll to take him to the point where he would have sought and succeeded in gaining revenge against those responsible for tearing his life away if it wasn’t for the existence of Kitt, or more specifically Kitt’s Artificial Intelligence, making the existence of Kitt extremely important in regards of the man that Michael Long will become once he’s embraced his new life as Michael Knight. One of the roles that Kitt would specifically play in this would be to provide an emotional counter balance to Michael’s desire to kill, just as he did in ‘The Scent Of Roses’ when Michael was literally beating Durante to death.
For this re-imagining I would cast the following actors in the main parts.
Paul Walker – Michael Knight
I would wager that Paul is best known for his character Brian O'Connor from the two Fast And The Furious films, even despite numerous other roles which he seems to have tackled extremely well. The fact that the Fast And The Furious films required extensive driver training coupled with his clear acting talent would make him a perfect replacement for David Hasslehoff as Michael Knight in my opinion as he has the acting range for the role, and the ability to drive the heck out of a car when he’s required to do so.
William Daniels – Voice of the Knight Industries Two Thousand
William Daniels made K.I.T.T. what he is to all of us today, and I can honestly think of no one else’s voice that I would rather hear emanating from behind the trademark voice modulator than his.
2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 – Body of the Knight Industries Two Thousand
When I look at American sports cars that are in production today, I always seem to find myself being drawn to the Corvette, just as I was drawn to 1982 Trans Am when I was younger.
Alan Rickman – Devon Miles
Alan has the look and ability to make Devon Miles equally as classy as Edward Mulhare did in the series, and I would love to see an actor of such high calibre take on the role.
Eliza Dushku - Bonnie Barstow
Her characterisation of Faith in Buffy The Vampire Slayer shows that she is an excellent actress who would be very capable of taking on a role such as that of Bonnie Barstow. In fact, given Eliza’s abilities, I could well imagine that Bonnie could be taken to a whole new level rather than just being Kitt’s primary technician.
Sir Anthony Hopkins - Wilton Knight
When I think of Wilton Knight, I can’t help but think that the character has to be played by a legendary figure in Hollywood, and I believe that Sir Anthony Hopkins fits the bill to perfection.

Here are my choices:
Michael Knight's replacement - The Rock
Bonnie's replacement - Halle Berry
Devon's replacement - John O'hurley (if he can break his comedic stereotype)
Car - Dodge Viper
Theme Music - Sandstorm by Darude
BTW, great thread idea Knightridergundam no need to apologize. I would have chimed-in earlier, however I've been vacationing for the last two weeks, with no internet access.
