Shill drives 'Knight Rider' By Nellie AndreevaOct 22, 2007
"The Kill Point" director Steve Shill is set to direct NBC's two-hour backdoor pilot "Knight Rider," a "Transformers"-inspired redo of the 1980s series starring David Hasselhoff.Doug Liman, who is executive producing the project, had been eyed to direct it subject to availability. His feature schedule prevented him from helming the pilot, which is expected to air as a two-hour movie on NBC later this season.
Dave Andron penned the pilot script and will serve as supervising producer on "Rider." Liman and Dave Bartis are executive producing for Universal Media Studios and Dutch Oven Prods.
Shill most recently directed and co-executive produced Spike TV's well-received limited series "Kill Point."
He also served as director/executive producer on the Showtime drama "The Tudors," executive produced by NBC programming chief Ben Silverman and his top lieutenant Teri Weinberg.
Great wishes for the best of luck on the return of the Knight Rider show to TV. Myself and my kids really like watching it years ago. I only wish I could have some job or something in connection with the car. I have 25 years experience in electonics and electro/mechanical equipment. I know electricity and mechanical things.
Good Luck on your efforts.
well this movie if given the proper set up
can work as well as 24hr chrono
it has been such a good movie long ago
it can still be today the all age favorite movie
do not make it too much of a teen movie like small ville
it needs to have panache
k2000 is a black car that has prestige
its a transam pontiac fire bird
its a big huge car with abig engine
a solid engine not a kids cars to be drive by a kid
do not hesitate to tear it down to think and think so as to get the proper script for this movie
now when i loook at the dash board of kitt
it pretty much looks like
a fake plastic dashboard with an old cro type tv set
kitt needs as well a revised dash board
and a flat screen screen now :)
on the old kitt series movie when kitt turbo boost we can see defaults on the screen when the car jumps
the stunts and special effects are good but not perfect ones as when attention is paid one can see some mistakes
its has good to be perfect now
the accelerator pedal that lights on with with green led in season 4 its sound s like a toy now
its old and out dated for a new season
the wings that comes out of the car as well that apparently gives more speed
it didnt make the car look too good
of course at the time when one saw that on tv its was impressive for kids
but looking it back again it sound cheap
and ridiculous a bit not too much cos it was favorite movie to mee too
the idea was an interesting one making it have wings like for a an airplane or an air of formula 1 car
its braking system aswell were based on airplanes
i wonda would that really work on a real car
