June 2, 2004 — An "Anonymous" source for Cinescape gave the site unconfirmed news regarding a possible Knight Rider film:
"The project being reviewed was none other than KNIGHT RIDER. First, they showed us a tape, it was obviously not real footage and was simply cuts of other movies and a few computer renderings spliced together to create a fake trailer. I gotta say, as rough as this demo was it gave me goosebumps. They even had what sounded like a newer version of the Knight Rider theme. It sounded like Moby music but I doubt they were at the stage of development to have someone of this status mix it up.
"The subject of the review, actually was not this video, rather it was whether or not the group felt this project could be taken seriously given the trailer we saw and what they actually termed, 'cheesy' reputation of David Hasselhoff. They stated up front right away that Hasselhoff would not be the star but that 'head honchos' were nervous his reputation could detract from the project. Most of the group said they felt it would not if the new star was reputable.
"And now for the big 'tada' which you may (or may not) consider good news, they said they had already been in discussions with Paul Walker for the role and that hed expressed interest in this project rather than doing another FAST AND THE FURIOUS movie.
