The Weinstein Company is steering an adaptation of the '80s TV series Knight Rider toward the big screen, reports Variety.
The independent company has sealed a deal to acquire rights to the series from creator Glen A. Larson, who also was behind such titles as Magnum, P.I. and The Fall Guy.
"Knight" follows a cop who's been left to die and is nursed back to health by a mysterious millionaire. The moneyman also gives the cop a new face; a new name, Michael Knight; and crime-fighting gadgetry, including KITT, the car with artificial intelligence.
The original series ran on NBC from 1982-86 and starred David Hasselhoff as Knight.
