Chris Pratt and Danny McBride to star in Knight Rider movie?

The rumour to have put the biggest smile on our faces this morning concerns The Weinstein Company's proposed adaptation of Knight Rider , with two new names linked to the starring roles…

Yes, according to Schmoes Know , Chris Pratt and Danny McBride are in talks to head up the film, in what would surely be some genius casting.

The report claims that Pratt is in line to take on the David Hasselhoff role as Michael Knight, while McBride will voice his four-wheeled partner, the talking car, K.I.T.T. Which is exactly how it should be...

For those not familiar with the original show, the story followed the crime-fighting exploits of a police detective with an armoury of high-tech gear at his disposal, including the aforementioned car.

Nothing has been confirmed as yet, but we'll be keeping our fingers firmly crossed for this one. Quite frankly, it sounds perfect...
