Devon Miles
Does anybody know if they are going to use Devon Miles in the new movie or are they going to recast that role? I had heard rumors that they were going to make a Devon Miles "Hologram" using Edward mulhare's image and sort of "Hologram" him....

If the film becomes a major motion picture, no, it won't be expensive to them...it will be worth the effortSith wrote:To be honest, putting him back in using stock footage would be too expensive to warrant the effort. Not to mention the fact Devon died in KR 2000.
Besides, Hasselhoff has said in interviews that he intends to play Michael Knight as the 'elder statesman' in charge of FLAG.
I think we are aware of the fact he died, that's why stock footage was suggested.

Ha... you do know how much it cost to put stock footage of Oliver Reed in a few scenes of Gladiator, don't you?Skav wrote:If the film becomes a major motion picture, no, it won't be expensive to them...it will be worth the effort
And the new KR movie will be lucky to get even half the budget that film had. lol
Yes... but my point is... he's dead. His character arc ended in KR 2000.Skav wrote:I think we are aware of the fact he died, that's why stock footage was suggested.
I personally think bringing him back would be in poor taste, artistically. It would make his death scene in the previous film seem trivial, and greatly dampen the emotion and conclusion that the flashback scenes gave in terms of a send off for Edward Mulhare.
Leave holograms in Star Trek. lol

Depends in what situation the flashback is used.Sith wrote:Skav wrote:If the film becomes a major motion picture, no, it won't be expensive to them...it will be worth the effortyeah, but what I'm saying is, if the film is a hit, they'd probably make back their budget. and, well, there's a difference between a legendary actor like Oliver Reed and Mulhare in an 80's tv show. So I'm willing to bet it won't be as expensive as Oliver Reed footage. lol.Ha... you do know how much it cost to put stock footage of Oliver Reed in a few scenes of Gladiator, don't you?

Gotta agree with you there. I'd like to see a mention, or his picture up somewhere in the new FLAG headquarters, but I just don't see any point to bringing him back with stock footage. I think it would be hard to get the film stock to match up. Old film looks old and I don't know how you would get the emotional feel right (I'm having visions of RC's piecemeal 'statement' in Knight of the Rising Sun). I think it would a better tribute to him to leave Devon Miles in the past and simply honor his memory.Sith wrote: Yes... but my point is... he's dead. His character arc ended in KR 2000.

A mention, a inside joke, a photo of Devon in the background is probably all we will and should get in the movie. If they are disregarding K2k, then they should give some explanation, if they are keeping with the K2k timeline, then he luckly (although sadly) had a good bye on Knight Rider.
I think they are going to need to keep the story as in the current time as they can. They don't want to bog down the movie with back story, because it will limit their audience. They'll just provide us with enough history to get by and that should be all. I'd rather not have them waste time going into over detail about who died, and what happened, just a quick blurb. Move on to the future is what they will need to do I think...

to be honest, that ws a mistake. That part messed up Knight Rider, as an idea, a great deal, which is why it should not even be considered a part of Knight Rider- it has a lot of faults. Even otherwise, one can say that this happened during or slightly after the four seasons of Knight Rider.Yes... but my point is... he's dead. His character arc ended in KR 2000.
As for the stock footage, some camera tricks here and there will help, like the Star Wars Special Editions.
Interesting...How did the Canadian company that made the fourth season of Airwolf get the permission to use stock footage?Although I think they'd havta get Mulhare's family's permission for that?
