Mumbai, June 17, 2009

The classic 1980s television series Knight Rider revs into action with this high-octane remake premiering on STAR WORLD on Thu, 18 Jun at 10pm.

The story takes place 25 years after the original Knight Rider series. Secret Agent Mike Traceur (Justin Bruening) steers K.I.T.T. (Knight Industries Three Thousand), now a Ford Shelby GT500KR Mustang. Along with a former fiancée Sarah Graiman (Deanna Russo), the daughter of the scientist Charles Graiman who designed both KITTs, Mike becomes the new champion of Knight Industries, a high tech government and law enforcement contractor. The new-look K.I.T.T is now capable of hacking into almost any computer system, can change its shape and colour, and is equipped with an artificial intelligence, making this one-of-a-kind vehicle the ideal crime-fighting partner.

Boasting state-of-the-art special effects, Knight Rider is an action-packed ride. "Every episode has some amazing feats," says Bruening. "I always wonder how they’re going to pull off on-screen what I read in the scripts because we always have some cars and missiles blowing up." The pilot episode also features guest star David Hasselhoff, returning to the role that launched his career.
