We've been hearing about David Hasselhoff's desire to make Knight Rider into a feature film for years now. Every time the project seems to get going though, it seems to die out. Well it looks like Knight Rider is showing signs of life again, because they're trying to cast a young actor to star in it.
In specific, someone has been talking to Orlando Bloom about taking the lead. According to an article in Britain's Daily Express mailed to us by a scooper, Orlando says he was approached by David Hasselhoff and actually offered the part of Michael Knight's son. "He'd heard I was a fan of the old show and said, 'We're doing the movie version and I'd love you to play my son in it'".
Orlando says he passed on the part because he was never that much of a "Knight Rider" fan, but it probably also has a little something to do with the fact that right now he's too big a star to muck around with talking cars. What actor wants to be stuck playing Hasselhoff's son? Nobody with any kind of future, that's for sure.
If Hoff was pimping Knight Rider to Bloom, don't expect him to stop there. If you're a young Hollywood actor, beware. David Hasselhoff may be stalking you.
