KR Archive reports that David Hasselhoff was interviewed at length about his career on the Jonno & Harriet Breakfast Show on London's Heart 106.2 station. He gave them these tidbits about the new Knight Rider movie, and why nothing seems to be happening with the project at Revolution Studios: "Definitely doing another Knight Rider, we're working on the movie right now. We had a big deal with a big studio but they wanted to kind of turn it into a farce like Starsky and Hutch and I said no. Starsky and Hutch and Knight Rider are different. Knight Rider has such a major following. You cannot turn your fame back on the fans because guys will riot, I mean this is stuff that people grew up with. And so I want to bring a bit of a cool new Knight Rider in with a new car but also at the end Michael Knight comes in with the old K.I.T.T. and saves the day." When asked if his role would be a cameo as opposed to starring in it, Hasselhoff replied: "I'm probably going to be taking over the Devon character, and have my son be like the Knight Rider. I mean, I can't go anywhere, anywhere in the world, it really is ten-to-one Knight Rider! It's just all Knight Rider. Baywatch was huge and still is the one that eleven years, worldwide, but Knight Rider was the one that really affected people because they were kids that grew up with it."
Casting: "We haven't really pursued it, my kids keep saying 'Dad, Orlando Bloom! He's so cute! Orlando Bloom!' They just want to meet him, you know. I was thinking more like Colin Hanks, I just got done working with Tom Hanks' son, he's kind of a Tobey Maguire-type. I like to have something like that, play against type". Thanks to 'Paul'.
