NBC's official sites received their weekly updates last night, which saw new postings to the writers blog, Billy's blog, Knight Industries Research and photos.
First on the Knight Writers blog, "A Hard Day's Knight" and February Pilot scribe David Andron talks about the episode and the process that started over 14 months ago:
About 14 months ago NBC approached myself, Dave Bartis and Doug Liman about reinventing one of the most iconic franchises in the history of television. About two days after that we were on board, and an obscenely short amount of time after that we were shooting a two hour "back door pilot" to air in February. The five months from that first phone call to the air-date were the fastest, most stressful and engrossing of my life. I was proud of the movie, it did well, and now here we are, with a lot of the same faces and even more new ones, to bring you the series.And it's been a blast. To be perfectly blunt with you, this is a big show, and far as I'm concerned, the more help the better. So GST was hired to come in and steer the ship. Great writers. More great crew. And more great actors. We're having fun, and you know why?
Because Knight Rider is fun. Or, at least, it should be. But in addition to fun there have to be stakes, or else why do we care? So when I sat down to write my episode I decided I wanted to see Mike really get pushed to the brink, and watch our team rally around him.
Then on Billy's Notes from the Underground, "Billy" answers some viewer email:
Hey Billy,You're cute. I'm a swimsuit model, and some friends from swimsuit model school are coming to my place tonight to play video games. Come over and show us all your moves! Here's my address: [not printed]
-Elise, your biggest fan
I know it's you Zoe, and you're not going to get me to fall for that a third time.
Also the Knight Industries Research site got a pretty slick overhaul, we can't wait to see what happens with it.
