Knight Rider 2000 on Sky Movies Action/Thriller!

The first ever KR revival, the TV movie Knight Rider 2000, is being screened on Sky Movies Action/Thriller tomorrow (Sunday, 6th September) at 11:50am, with an encore showing at 7:10pm.

The movie picks up the Knight Rider story in the year 2000, and the city has banned all handguns. The police now carry ultrasound weapons that freeze rather than kill the perpetrators. However, cops are still being shot by illegal handguns which are being supplied by a mysterious source. Persuaded out of a ten year retirement by his old boss Devon (Edward Mulhare), Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff) resurrects his old friend K.I.T.T. (voiced by William Daniels) and sets about uncovering the most horrifying scandal the city has ever seen.

Sky Movies Action/Thriller is available to Sky customers on channel 304, and Virgin customers on channel 404. Sky simulcast in HD on channel 335.

On This Day: 19th May, 1991

Today marks the 18th anniversary of the first ever Knight Rider revival!

Knight Rider 2000 aired as a Movie of the Week and got fantastic ratings, but unlike the most recent telepic it failed to launch a new series. Set in an alternate future, 2000 sees Devon Miles (Edward Mulhare reprising the role for the last time) call Michael Knight out of retirement to investigate the assassination of the city's mayor. Michael is teamed with Shawn McCormick (Susan Norman), an ex-cop who has joined the Knight Foundation after having one of K.I.T.T.'s memory chips implanted in her brain.

There is a detailed guide to the movie, K.I.T.T. - the Knight 4000, articles, galleries and a site-exclusive making-of feature in the Knight Rider 2000 section of the site!

Don LaFontaine Has Passed Away...

Don LaFontaine, whose lengthy career in voiceover led to him narrating over 5000 film and TV trailers, passed away yesterday due to complications from pneumothorax. He was 68.

He will be familiar to fans of Knight Rider as the narrator of the ads for the TV movie Knight Rider 2000 -- "For four years they rode together, a man who did not exist and a car unlike any other!" -- and the opening titles of Team Knight Rider:

"Ten years ago, all it took was one man... and one car... to get the job done. Now, the Foundation for Law and Government has assembled five highly-skilled operatives and paired them with the most advanced, state-of-the-art vehicles to take on a new breed of outlaw."

You can learn more about the man and his work at his website.
