JediMaster 451 Posted March 20, 2008 http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=43128 The casting ideas are already flying. Have to admit I think Steve Carell as Murdock would work. I can't see this NOT being stupid, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mannie 21 Posted March 20, 2008 Well, at the time I loved wacthing it on TV. I found it to be amusing, made me laugh a bit, when laughter was something I needed desperately. The one who made me pee in my pants was murdock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Longestpants 1 Posted March 20, 2008 Yeah, B.A. is a big responsibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted March 21, 2008 Ving Rhames could do it, he's done some great comedic stuff like in "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Fates 63 Posted March 22, 2008 Murdock: Jim Carrey Ba Barrackus: Samuel L. Jackson (get it? LMOA...he hates planes) Hannibal: Sean Connery Faceman: Nicholas Cage That would be my vote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Gocad 26 Posted March 22, 2008 And the girl? what about her? (sorry I can't remember her name) Are you serious? Her inclusion watered down the original premise of the series. IMHO this 'remake' will suck, big time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rambler 1-1 9 Posted March 26, 2008 I wonder if they're gonna use any of the original cast members? After all, Hasselhoff is still Michael Knight, Stallone is still Rambo and Ford is still Indiana Jones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TX3RN0BILL 3 Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) Isn't Mr. T still alive? If so, I think nobody could play B.A. better than him - come on, Ving Rhames is just a comedy relief compared to Mr. T. Dunno who should be Hannibal, but definitely not Sean Connery, he's too old - Though if they're gonna do it comedy-style they could pick Steve Martin, LMAO... But Jim Carrey as Murdock would be spot on. Face would also be hard to play, but I think a good bet would be Luke Wilson. Also, besides Mr. T, it would be nice to have Dirk Benedict and Dwight Schultz appear in the movie, as an homage to those which entertained us with the fantastic show back in the 80's - no matter how bad the movie will turn out to be... Edit: I heard that Hasselhof is going to appear in the Knight Rider remake... could be fun after all... Edited March 26, 2008 by TX3RN0BILL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted March 27, 2008 The KR "reboot" already aired. Yes, it's a Mustang. The Hoff has a 5 min cameo in at the very end. It wasn't very interesting, really. Val Kilmer did the voice and that wasn't that great either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rambler 1-1 9 Posted March 27, 2008 (edited) dah, I should have guessed. It's disgusting how some of the best, most timeless shows and songs are beign brutallized in an attempt to make them moderen and popular again. We saw Thunderbirds go down, then Speed Racer, then Rocky, Rambo, Indiana Jones, now Knight Rider. Hopefully the new A-team will miss the mark and end up being good. did they at least keep the same old Knight Rider theme song? EDIT- another addition to my list of ruined classics. Remember that groovy 70's song by Charles Wright calle "Express Yourself"? Well it was redone by some woman pop/soft rock singer and it's horrible.
