Knight Rider Movie News

​From Cinemablend

Word on the street is The Weinstein Company is actively pursuing getting its own Knight Rider movie up and running, only this one would be a comedy, and the studio is already eyeing Kevin Hart as one of the leads.

No meetings or official negotiations have taken place yet, The Weinstein Company evidently wants Kevin Hart to succeed William Daniels as the voice of KITT, the artificially intelligent car that Michael Knight rides around in. As for the man who drives KITT and will follow in David Hasselhoff's footsteps, Screen Rant also reported that WWE superstar and The Wall actor John Cena is being sought for that job. Whether or not The Weinstein Company is able to secure Hart and Cena as its leads, the studio is interesting in making its Knight Rider movie a comedy tonally similar to Phil Lord and Chris Miller's Jump Street movies.
