The 'Knight Rider' Cast Has Landed
I think we have our principals set...
The return of "Knight Rider" in 2008 is going to turn into quite the big deal on the Internet I assume. A lot of the fanboys, and even myself, grew up on the show and are sure to throw the mini-series a lot of interest.
So far we have learned that original star David Hasselhoff will be back as Michael Knight, but he will be handing the keys to KITT over to his son, Mike Tracer played by soap star Justin Bruening.
The two-hour NBC movie will follow Tracer as he is recruited by his childhood best friend, Sarah Graiman (Deanna Russo), and her eccentric physicist father, Charles (Bruce Davison), to join the Knight Foundation, a group committed to counteracting and preventing the damage done by private, covert military contractors. (Sarah and Charles' last name was originally Kamen, it has since been changed to Graiman.)
To assist their missions, Charles creates the second-generation KITT, an artificially intelligent car.
A shady millionaire approaches Charles to commission a KITT car, and when Charles refuses, he hires a military contractor to murder him and steal the car.
Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Wayne Kasserman and Greg Ellis round out the cast.
Ellis will play Welther, one of the bad guys. The role is considered guest-starring, with a potential to continue if gets picked up for a series run.
Kasserman plays Dylan, Mike's loyal roommate, friend and race car mechanic who joins the Knight Rider team.
I am not going to geek out on this one, but it is certainly on my radar as we are to expect it late 2008.
