I have to say to you "Victor Kros", IF you do indeed work for Glen Larson then I feel sorry for him. You have approached this matter in an extremely unprofessional manner, and if you are a member of his team I personally feel that you are only damaging Glen's dreams by the way you have talked on here. You say that Universal are only trying to damage Glen's movie project and that what they are doing is basically wrong. You're right, if that was what they were doing... but on here that is exactly what you trying to do to their project! A better response would be to ask the fans for support and concentrate on discussing the movie, not railroading the series.
knightendo_phil you do not have one clue as to what you are talking about and to accuse me of hurting Glen by seeking to garner support for his movie project is just plain rediculous.
How dare you confront me with such poorly conducted research.
FACT - If I wasn't for me there would be no announcement of Glen's movie, no mention of it in the public view, no confirmation the project is even moving forward.
FACT - People cherish the original show and Glen is working quite hard to try and find a balance between what worked then and what will work now. The movie will be a updated take on the original pilot,
Knight of the Pheonix with some new details that could only be explored properly on a theatrical scale.
FACT - People are posting the "In Glen Larson We Trust" emblem on their pages to show their support and signing the petition.
FACT - I stated before and I will repeat this one more time, I am not seeking confrontation here and I already explained in my previous post that the fans will decide which vision they prefer or if they will co-exist. Did you just selectively decide to
neglect my previous post?
FACT - Yes in the past
when it was announced I have been very vocal about my dislike for the TV series because of the circumstances surrounding it that you
do not seem to understand or agree with. As time has gone on however, I have backed away from those dislikes and made comments about it only based on the information that has been made availible by the AICN article.
FACT - Doug Limon is
not writing the script nor is he
inventing the Knight Rider TV pilot, David Andron is writing it. Glen created Knight Rider, he wrote the pilot and saw it through to its final completion, the only thing he did not do was direct it. Add to that, Glen had already created several other properties
before he even invented Knight Rider. Andron has no previous creative background other then writing a single episode of
Raines, a show that was pulled from the air so quickly, very few viewers knew of its existance. (It starred Jeff Goldblum)
FACT -
Bionic Woman is a
collosal failure along with other shows like
Cavemen and
K'Ville. but the reason these shows are still on the air is because of the
upcoming WGA strike. Networks would rather air the shows they've already finished or are near completion rather then pull them off and have nothing to air but reruns once the strike occurs.
FACT - No details of Glen's script have been leaked to the public, the NBC pilot has been compromised. I have not told people more about Glen's script because he doesn't want the elements of his concept stolen before it's been made. I have shared details that he has allowed me to share, when he allows me to share further details I will do so accordingly.
Inevitably after the script has left Glen's possession it will eventually wind up compromised as well because it will be out of his control. At least for the time being it's details remain safely anonomous.
The NBC/Universal pilot can go either way, who wins out only time will tell but either way the the FACT is Knight Rider is coming back from
both parties in a big way and that is what matters at this point.
If Limon is indeed out of the project as Shapeshifter implies then that would make the challenge of making the success of the pilot all the more challenging.
Additionally, I have made comments about the NBC/Universal tv series that do not flatter it, that's
my right as any other person with an
opinion.
I do not go to every thread I see and demean the series and attack other people for their ideas and concepts. I do not go around and tell people to boycott Universal.
I have addressed the
Starsky and Hutch/Dukes of Hazzard comment because it keeps being addressed in the
wrong context compared to Knight Rider in terms of the usage of original cars.
Yes, Glen is attached as
Executive Producer on TKR even though he had nothing to do with it, because IT'S IN HIS CONTRACT. NBC/Universal cannot make a Knight Rider TV series project
without offering him the position of
Executive Producer unless he decides to wave it.
With
Knight Rider 2000 he was entirely unsatisfied with the direction Universal chose to take his vision and refused to be attached to it but they could not release the film on TV
without his decision.
You need to re-evaluate your research into the history regarding
TKR and stop focusing on trying to sabotage the
positive things I have been doing here and across other KR forum boards.
If Hasselhoff hated the script so much for
Knight Rider 2000, why didn't he just refuse not to make the movie? You want to know the answer? It's simple...
money.
Money is the great equalizer, especially in Hollywood. As for Robert Foster, he didn't continue what Glen started alone
on his own. Larson still received copies of
every script up to season 4 and gave his notes accordingly when necessary to do so.
As
Executive Producer during that particular series he didn't just sit back and collect checks, he still stayed involved in the series until it reached a point he lost interest.
You,
knightendo_phil chose to confront me with points that are relatively invalid. What your opinion of me is is really insignificant compared to my goals for being here and thus far I have been
successful in achieving them.
My intentions are not confrontational, they are to seperate
fact from
speculation about
the motion picture and keep people enthusiastic about the project and to assure them the movie
is moving forward.
In the matter of the NBC/Universal pilot, we will have to agree to disagree and let the fans decide the rest.
