Knight Rider 2008 Panel at San Diego Comic-con starting to shape up

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 14:49:22 -0500

The Knight Rider panel is scheduled to take place on Thursday July 24th. Final panel arrangements are still being made, but Gary Scott Thompson is confirmed. Also what is confirmed? The big unveiling of footage from the series plus the new Attack-KITT, live and in person!

The theater holds 1000 people, so it shouldn't be too hard to get a seat, but I hear they don't clear the room from panel to panel. This will also be a moderated panel - where a moderator asks pre-submitted questions to the panel (vs the ask the question in the audience type thing), so we'll have more information on how to get your question asked as we get closer to the date.

Tickets are available from http://www.comic-con.org - and it looks like 80% sold out for Thursday, so place your orders now!

principal photography on knight rider 2008 begins in two weeks

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 18:31:41 -0500

We were very fortunate to get some time with David Bartis today and ask few quick questions!

We were told that "things are going really well" from the production offices of the new Knight Rider series. They "are scheduled to start production on the series on June 23rd", in LA (not Vancouver which was briefly rumored last week).

Working with Gary Scott Thompson "has been fantastic" and has "continued to elevate the show in every department"! Additionally they are "doing some designing of the car to make it even cooler" as well as "adding some new cast" to the mix.

We've also been told that they will be at Comicon in San Diego in July. And so we will, to cover it!

Exclusive Interview with Gary Scott Thompson - Part 2

Sun, 27 Apr 2008 23:13:27 -0500

When it was announced just over 20 days ago that the creator of "Las Vegas" and "Fast and the Furious" - Gary Scott Thompson - would be involved in Knight Rider a new level of credability became apart of the already talented team behind the new Knight Rider series.

Here now is part two of our exclusive two part interview with Gary Scott Thompson, Executive Producer and Showrunner of the new Knight Rider series, aring this fall on NBC. Be sure to check out part one if you haven't yet.

KRO: There might be some holdover from the people who did see the 2-hour movie.

Gary Scott Thompson: There is... and the problem is... look, I read your stuff, I read other things, some people didn't like it, some people did like it. Some people liked this character, some people didn't like that character. It's very hard to judge exactly what they did and didn't like, or who they did or didn't like. It's so much easier to say, that was then and this is now. That was the 2-hour, and now we're making the series. The series will have some elements that are the same, and a lot of different ones.

Gary Scott Thompson: You know, it's going pretty good. We're in there cranking out storylines and busting our butts to get some cool stuff and figuring out what this car is and what the car can do and what it can't do and what we're going to do here for a series.
