Rumor: John Cena and Kevin Hart Being Eyed for Possible ‘Knight Rider’ Movie Reboot
The fumes of a Knight Rider reboot have been in the air lately. Earlier this month David Hasselhoff revealed he pitched an idea to James Gunn for a reboot of the original NBC series. The show, which ran from 1982 to 1986, starred Hasselhoff as Michael Knight, a crime fighter assisted by his artificially intelligent car KIIT.

A new rumor suggests a revival might be on the way, but in feature-length form.
