David Hasselhoff is hassling managing director Robert Rodriguez about make aLogan - styleKnight Riderfilm . While many know Hasselhoff as the studly drawing card of theBaywatchlifeguard crew that had a flagitious discharge on syndicated TV worldwide throughout the 1990s , the doer , affectionately known as " The Hoff , " establish up a huge fan base long before taking to the moxie beach of Southern California and becoming a rock principal in Germany .
InKnight Rider , Hasselhoff starred as Michael Knight – a crimefighter who took to the street to battle the high-risk cat along with by artificial means intelligent car KITT – in a successful NBC - TV action dramatic event that run from 1982 to 1986 . And while Hasselhoff has reprised the role in the TV movieKnight Rider 2000 in 1991 and appeared in one episode of aKnight Riderrevival series which run for 18 episode on NBC from 2008 - 2009 , the actor does n’t appear to be quite ready to park his old pal KITT quite yet .

" I have met Robert Rodriguez . He does Dusk til Dawn and Machete . And I enounce ' You require to do Knight Rider . ' Because he was doing a marathon of Knight passenger and he said ' Can we have a selfie ! ? ' And I say , ' No , I do n’t want a selfie ! I require to do the motion-picture show ! I want to pip the tv set serial publication ! I need to convey it back and make it dark ! Michael Knight come back and he ’s pissed . ' … I hope it happens , and if it does , it ’ll be kind of like Logan . It will be dark . Hasselhoff as Michael Knight in 2017 . Knight Rider . The saga continues . "
While Hasselhoff has become a schoolmaster of ego - pasquinade over the years , his ideas are specific enough to be more than just off - the - handcuff remarks by the thespian . And give Rodriguez ’s repute for gritty , no - holds - barred action and horror motion picture , Hasselhoff seems to have recover the correct person to at the very least turn over his ideas .
As unrealistic as some may consider aKnight Ridermovie to be , there ’s no inquiry that Hasselhoff still has a huge comportment whenever he appears on the braggart cover . He was the best part of thehaplessBaywatchbig screen adaptation(Dwayne " The Rock " Johnson and troupe played their role like they were in an sequence of the TV serial publication while The Hoff was clearly in on the gag of his appearance ) ; and hisquick cameoand reference work to him inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 2were atrociously entertaining - as was his twist in the"Guardians Inferno"music videofeatured in theVol . 2video press release .
The problem is , if Hasselhoff sincerely desire aLoganfeel with aKnight Ridermovie , there ’s very small elbow room in a setting like that for humor – which at this stage in his calling is the player ’s bounteous selling point . No matter what happens , you have to accredit The Hoff for his willingness to coalesce thing up a bit and get creative with an R - rated premise forKnight Rider . Until then , the secure fans can desire for is that Hasselhoff will have a larger presence inGuardians of the Galaxy Vol . 3 .
