Last weekend - Knight Rider was on the island of Oahu filming for an upcoming episode. Some of the local blogs picked up on this as well as provided some interesting images from the set.
From what we've heard, the scenes that were shot were just of Mike and Sarah retreating from a stressful experience. (KITT was not in town.)
From Tim Ryan's Reel Hawaii:
NBC's Knight Rider series will film two days on Oahu - Oct. 25 and 26 - all on the North Shore and primarily at the Turtle Bay Resort where cast and the Los Angeles crew will be staying. The iconic 1980s television series that starred David Hasselhoff has been reinvented and updated showcasing the new car KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) which is now equipped with an "AI" (artificial intelligence) capable of hacking almost any system. KITT is not making the Hawaii trip. Only two Knight Rider cast will be in Hawaii, star Justin Bruening and Deanna Russo. The episode being shot here is called Knight to King Pawn. Russo's character comes to Hawaii [spoiler]to get away from a personal tragedy back home[/spoiler]. The majority of crew will be from Oahu. Preproduction begins Monday...
From Midweek:
PAL RICHARD BURGI here over the weekend filming Knight Rider at Turtle Bay. Richard starred as Teri Hatcher's ex in 33 episodes of Desperate Housewives. We became friends when he co-starred with Cheryl Ladd in One West Waikiki. I was the associate producer of the CBS series that was filmed in Hawaii.
From Didi's Photoblog (with photos):
I read before leaving for Hawaii that on any given day at Turtle Bay Resort there will be a film crew shooting something. Many commercials have been shot here, and also the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Well, sure enough, Knight Rider was in town and filming just steps from our villa! The cast and crew were staying at Turtle Bay Resort and we watched them film at the nearby beach bar, Ola. They had huge lights set up that lit up the ocean, giving us a unique view of the ocean that night, it was beautiful.
