    Movies don't have "showrunners".

    Let's all hope that it's as good as "Night Rider 2000" and "Team Knight
    Rider" - that would be keen!

    Universal Pictures is developing a Knight Rider movie, based on
    the classic 1980s action TV show, which starred David Hasselhoff.
    To bring the project to life, the studio has enlisted Cobra Kai
    creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald to lead
    the movie's creative team.

    Again?

    I doubt it will even reach the "heights" of those two hideous versions. Hollyweird just gets worse and worse.

    That's why I can't wait for the new Buffy... I'm sure it will live up to
    my expectations.

    When it comes to reboots / resurrections / reimaginings, negative
    numbers are always a given. :-p
