You can now add Knight Rider to the list of reboots.
Director Justin Lin is reviving the 1980’s classic via his YOMYOMF online brand in partnership with gaming-centric digital studio Machinima and NBCUniversal Brand Development.
“Knight Rider is an iconic franchise whose concepts of AI and autonomous vehicles were science fiction in the 1980s and are now science fact,” said Machinima CEO Chad Gutstein. “Justin is one of the leading storytellers of his generation and we couldn’t be more excited to work with him on re-invigorating Knight Rider for a new generation of fans.”
Who’s ready for another reboot?
