In a mysterious or just plain confusing turn of events, a "Knight Rider Heroes" trailer was published on YouTube on Dec. 9 and, more than a week later, we still have no idea what is going on because all we've been getting are teases from David Hasselhoff.
Flashback: On Dec. 9, a trailer for "Knight Rider Heroes" came out and it was mainly composed of a backstory of how the Foundation for Law and Government (FLAG) initiated a crime fighting program in 1982 only to be disbanded in 1986 due to government pressure. Then it offered a conspiracy theory saying that FLAG reinitiated the program and has been working underground. Cue in leather jacket-wearing David Hasselhoff in character as Michael Knight waiting for his partner, Knight Industries Two Thousand (KITT), as it traverses the desert.
Then a mysterious character is shown talking to Knight and it seems as if he is going to be mentored. Whatever his role will be, he seems ready and eager, though the eagerness doesn't show on his face. If you don't believe it, check out the trailer below for yourself.
For your information and to save your time, there's nothing in the website except a sign-up page to receive news. Here is what's currently in the website.
When David Hasselhoff and his replica of KITT (read: it doesn't talk) made an appearance on "Aficionauto" in 2014, the series' creator, Christopher Rutkowski, let it slip that the "Knight Rider" reboot that we've been hearing about is a new production, though he didn't reveal anything else.
So what do we know? We know there's a new "Knight Rider" in production and "Knight Rider Heroes" is probably it. Just don't hope for a film adaptation too much because we've been hearing about that one since 2002 and here we are nearing the end of 2015 still without that film.
On the bright side, The Hoff seems to be sending a message that whatever this project is will take off. He even changed his Twitter profile photo to show Michael Knight with KITT. Then there's this tweet from Dec. 13 of The Hoff with his cast mates for "Peter Pan" and... is that KITT they're riding on?
