SO... there seems to be a lot of different things going on with this...

Aug 22nd,
just a week or so later,
The Weinstein Company wants to make a Knight Rider
show with
John Cena as Michael, and
Kevin Hart as the voice of KITT (I kid you flipping not) and want to make it a comedy. (With that cast, obviously)
Which,
side note, this absurd type of remake was predicted early on in this thread:
How about KITT being a black HellCat SRT Charger, voiced by Cedric The Entertainer? Throw Will Ferrell in as Michael Knight and you can have your cliche White/Black fish out of water movie. Can we say groundbreaking?

Aug 23rd,
the very next day, reveals more info, that Hasselhoff is interested in working on a reboot, but this time he apparently approached
Robert Rodrigues to direct, and specifically talked about a
final movie to the Knight Rider series,
R-Rated, like Logan.
Also, what he actually told CinemaBlend sounds kinda like he really just ran into Robert Rodrigues, Rodrigues wanted a selfie, and Hasselhoff had probably recently seen Logan and was fantasizing about that type of movie for Michael Knight, and so he, in randomly bumping into Rodrigues, threw the idea out there... so not exactly a, "I'm working on this film" or even something that seems likely, regardless of how these things are being reported... which also leads me to think maybe his "talking with James Gunn" was more this casual type of talk, where theres not actually anything being worked on...
The article also afterward mentions that
Machinima previously planned to produce a
TV series with
Justin Lin directing. (More of a action based film probably, like Fast and Furious, less focused on plot)
Is anyone else a bit confused? Also, most the more recent news is just people referencing that Kevin Hart is rumored for the voice of KITT in a Knight Rider reboot...
Which sadly makes that sound like the thing to most likely actually happen...
