I would ask if there was anything fans could do to help get the movie started. Maybe the delays are just the normal part of doing business and dealing with all the politics involved. But if a studio needs to be convinced that a Knight Rider movie is a good idea, then we need to hear from Mr. Larson how we can help.

Where in London? Where? I'm a Londoner! First, tell him I was very flattered. Team Knight Rider has my initials! TKR! I've never had a tv series named after me! 8)

If you can't get me five minutes to natter to him can you ask him about writing? I love the ideas he comes up with in his creative material and would like to know his process. How does he come up with such spiffing ideas? Does he invent the characters overnight or do they come to him gradually, and how much was he influenced by his own family (there's always a strong mentor figure in all his stuff). What kind of thing inspired him when he was younger - movies or other writers, that sort of thing. Basically ask him how he does it, every single time, his stuff is as idealistic as it is enjoyable and it works!

Speaking of which if he needs a runner for the new movie I'm job hunting...

I have a question: Will Mr. Larson be able to do any more quirky DVD commentaries with D. Hasselhoff? Just asking.....;)

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the delay in answering. The weekend went very very well. Got to mee and hang out with the legend, Glen Larson. He was very happy to have the car with him and said that having KITT with him was the best part of the weekend for him. The movie is in full swing, so it is happening, he told me that Davis is is allways at his office talking about the movie.
To Michael Pajero. He is more than convinced, especially after this weekend that the the movie and the idea is a good one.
He is currently working on the Fall Guy also. The KR movie will be true to the original, good plot with a few laughs but not Starsky and Hutch style, this will be done so the instalment can carry on, maybe as a series or another film. He did a talk and that was good but does not want to let too many things out due to the internet and plot leaks. I got to hang out with him and his other half socially on the sunday night. He took many pictures of him in KITT and will be sharing them with David with whom he is seeing this week.
There is more but that is the basics i think, i now have Stu Phillips, David Hasselhoff and Glen Larsons signatures on my car next to each other.

Hope that is helpful

Vinny

Vinny - WAY COOL! 8) Dude, that is GREAT news about the movie too. I SO want to see it! I hope it'll come out on DVD then after the theatres because often it's hard for me to get to theatres healthwise. :? But I am very excited! :)
