Time to rev up the engines of that 1982 Pontiac Trans Am because Spyglass Media Group has partnered with Jame’s Wan and Michael Clear’s Atomic Monster to develop a movie based on ’80s NBC classic “Knight Rider,” according to an individual with knowledge of the project.
Former video game writer TJ Fixman is adapting the screenplay.
“Knight Rider” was created by the late Glen A. Larson and aired on NBC from 1982-1986. The series starred David Hasselhoff as a former Los Angeles detective who got shot in the face and got rescued by self-made billionaire Wilton Knight, giving him a new identity through way of plastic surgery, and a new name: Michael Knight.
