Dammit no, yesterday I woke up with the idea of a knight rider reboot where Kitt is a barely functioning cyber truck, Nic Cage is a 25 year old Michael and the script is 100% AI written.
That is something Elon Musk would come up, except the protagonist is now him AIed over another actor. And of course the bad guys are people infected with the woke mind virus who don’t let white people to call black people the hard-R N-word, trans people using the bathroom, etc.
I don’t give a shit about David Hasselhoff, but Knight Rider without Mr Feeney as KITT wouldn’t be the same
KITT is a Tesla that goes evil and Michael is a l337 hacker trying to make it stop.
There was one in 2008 actually. But it isn’t very good, not that the original is some masterpiece either OTOH. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_Rider_(2008_TV_series)?wprov=sfla1
Like many other shows, this one was a product of its time and wouldn’t work today.
Talking, intelligent car decades ago? “Oh wow! Futuristic!”
Talking car today: “hey Google, play Tiptoe Through The Tulips on 120% volume”
