You wanted it, you got it! Oh, you didn’t really want it? You just said it might be kind of cool? Well, you’re still getting it. The timeless story of an idiot and his talking car, Knight Rider” will be making its way to a theater near you in a not-too-distant summer blockbuster season, according to a Hollywood Reporter article on CNN.

Larson has bandied about the project for years. A number of people wanted to do a pure comedic send-up of it, but I always felt that would throw away the franchise,” he said. There was always some humor on the show, but this film will probably have more gallows, foxhole humor.

Despite the darker tone, he said he would aim for a PG-13 rating because he doesn’t want to exclude the series’ core audience. The show ran on NBC from 1982-86.

I’m pretty sure that the show’s core audience can handle an R-rating, considering that they’re all in their 20s and 30s now, but whatever. PG-13 sounds about right for a talking car movie. Expect to see a really kick ass trailer that has nothing to do with the movie sometime later today.
