1970s-80s TV god/Mormon Glen Larson has announced that he has a a Knight Rider movie in development with the Weinsteins, of all people.

The talking car K.I.T.T. is heading to the big screen in an adaptation of the hit 1980s TV series “Knight Rider.”

Series creator Glen A. Larson will write and executive produce the Weinstein Co. project, which he anticipates will begin production next year. The project had previously been in development at Sony-based Revolution Studios.

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.

No offense, but you might want to rethink that approach, buddy. Although the irony of a Very Serious Knight Rider movie is kind of even more amazing.
