Some Final thoughts about the pilot...
Posted: Mon Nov 26, 2007 11:48 am
This will be my last post for a while; the production is moving into the filming stage, and the producers want to keep a tighter lid on things now, and I need to respect that. I just wanted to make a final observation or two...
Regarding people's expectations: remember, this is a new crew. They are not recreating the original series; they are re-imagining it. As such, many of the casting and production decisions reflect a desire to make this a reflection of a modern age. The central idea is intact; that of the relationship between the driver and the car. But things need to be more believable now, since many of the things that KITT could do originally are no longer fiction. So, many aspects of the production are going to be different, to reflect a different time, and a different audience.
I would say watch the show, when it airs, with an open mind, and you will find a whole lot to enjoy. And hopefully, so will the current viewing public.
Thanks to all here, and best of luck to both the TV and the movie projects. Superman and Smallville have shown that there is room for both.
