Upcoming Genre TV To Be Scared Of

Courtesy of Sci Fi site IO9, first off we've got Warren Ellis and G.I. Joe:

"The idea was, as I understand it, that bringing in a writer with absolutely no nostalgia for the property would give them the tone they were looking for. I think they were happy when I presented them with the initial list of characters I was going to just kill. And then the list of things I was going to blow up."

Uh oh. And further...

"I’ve never even seen a GI JOE. Couldn’t tell you what they look like if you paid me. I know nothing about GI JOE. It is meaningless in my world.

Excellent, Sam said. Just the guy we need."

UH OH.

Ellis may in fact give us the G.I. Joe for those who fucking hate G.I. Joe.

Then there's this script overview of an episode of the new Knight Rider show, a show due almost entirely to the famine like conditions of the fall schedule after the writer's strike. To sum up:

"The good news is, KITT is a car of many talents. Including a 3-D "inkjet" printer that can create a fake key for any car, a special spray that can stop bleeding, and a "cylon laser." Oh, and the ability to help you pick up the hottest girl in any bar by feeding you exactly the right poetry."

You're welcome

He's watching you.

Yes, YOU.

Wow, This Does Not Look Good

TY Squad has a rundown of the preview event for the new Knight Rider TV movie. Quick hits:

1. The word "nanotechnology" is used.

2. Justin Bruening, who plays Mike Tracer, the estranged son of original Knight Rider Michael Knight, used to be an Abercrombie and Fitch model.

3. Where the *fuck* is my glowing red Cylon light on the front of the car? This thing looks generic and lame.

On the upside, with Bruce Davison playing KITT's creator and Will Arnett doing the voice, maybe it'll have a few moments of accidentally good mixed in with all the suck.

You Got Your Anime in My Transformers!

I blame the popularity of Naruto for this.

NARRUUUUTTTOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Shill Talks Knight Rider Movie

From Yahoo News:

For those of us who love plain action and futuristic cars, NBC announces the return on big screen of the 80’s series “Knight Rider”, the story of a fighting hero and his talking car.

The movie is inspired by the success story of Michael Bay’s movie “Transformers” whose main stars are transforming cars into having good or evil intentions. According to Variety there’s a chance that in addition to Knight’s talking car, there will also appear evil cars that Knight and his K.I.I.T. will have to fight with. The theme remains the same, only the special effects will know a significant improvement.

There is known that there have been several times when David Hasselhoff, now 55 tried to revive the character of “Knight Rider”, the last time when he embodied the crime fighter Michael Knight being in 1991 in “Knight Rider 2000”

Directed by Steve Shill, also known for making “Dexter,” “The Tudors,” “Rome” and “Deadwood,” the two- hour movie is planned to appear on next spring.

Interview with Shill

Rejoice, Friends!

For a Knight Rider remake is on the way, courtesy of Bourne Identity's Doug Liman.

OK, rejoice might be too strong a word. Cautious optimism? Mild disinterest? Wonderment once again at how popular David Hasselhoff is in Germany?

In actual rejoicing news, two episodes of How I Met Your Mother are available for free on iTunes this week. Download them (this means you, Dave F.) and watch, for they are funny.

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOM!!!
