Knight Rider to Return—Who Can Fill The Hoff’s Leather Pants?

Kitt and Michael Knight, the Sonny and Cher of the ’80s, are to make a return. NBC is apparently in talks with Doug Liman, director of Mr and Mrs Smith and The Bourne Identity to bring Knight Rider back, but this time with a Transformers-style twist, with evil cars chasing our be-permed hero and his wheels. A two-hour pilot is already in the offing, with Liman in a producer’s role. [Variety]
