After bringing The Karate Kid back, Cobra Kai creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald are planning on reviving another '80s classic with a Knight Rider movie.

Per The Hollywood Reporter, the trio are in early talks to pen the script, while Hurwitz and Schlossberg are in early talks to direct the movie. All three men will also produce via Counterbalance Entertainment, and The Fall Guy producers Kelly McCormick and David Leitch are also on board via 87North.

Knight Rider was a TV show that aired from 1982 to 1986, starring David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight. Knight is a detective whose partner is – wait for it – an artificially intelligent, sentient Trans Am car named KITT.
