From the Sci-Fi Wire:

Revolution Studios has hired first-time writers David Elliott and Paul Lovett to pen the script for its big-screen adaptation of the 1980s TV show Knight Rider, Variety reported. The feature film is being planned as an action comedy, the trade paper reported.

The TV series ran on NBC from 1982 to 1986 and centered on Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff) and his talking car K.I.T.T., a Pontiac Trans Am. Hasselhoff will executive produce the film, while Disney-based Mayhem Pictures' Mark Ciardi and Gordon Gray will produce with Glen A. Larson, who created the TV show, the trade paper reported.

KITT was a very cool car. Whoever did the voice was great.

William Daniels was the voice of KITT. Daniels was in St. Elsewhere and Boy Meets World, but he's probably most famous for appearing as the clown guy in the Galactica 1980 episode "The Night The Cylons Landed"

I wanna know why they have to make it a comedy.
A lighthearted action piece or even straight action would be great.
