Default Knight Rider Anyone?

Just saw this advertisement on NBC. What do you all think? I did not know this was being remade or "continued" as they are saying.

I'm surprised that GM gave up the franchise. It would have been the perfect platform to launch the new Camaro.

I would think that they just shopped around for the greatest offer and it happened to be Ford. I am in love with the car!!

Funny story... there are TWO franchises to Knight Rider. While Universal has the TV rights, the creator (Glen A. Larson) retained the movie rights... which is concurrently in production... and the stories will NOT be within the same universe. When the original creator announced they were going to make a Knight Rider movie, Universal thought it would be a great time to steal the thunder and remake their own TV show. Hasselhoff is reported to make a cameo in the TV show.

So GM might NOT have given up the franchise... dunno what car they will use for the movie version. The new Camaro would be nice, but would LOVE for GM to sneak in the revival of the Firebird TransAm!

What Warfang makes sense because GM would have right of first refusal if it were the same universe. Only if GM gave up the rights would Universal have the option to go to the highest bidder.
