The visual effects house charged with creating these visual miracles every week is Stargate Digital of Pasadena, CA. We are finding ways to afford to do it and make it work because we aren't limitless with the visual effects.' So that was the idea with us using nanotechnology as KITT transforms and morphs into other cars.

They are too sophisticated now and if we don't do at least what those other mediums are doing and take it to the next level, I don't think we will make it. And I think the bigger thing is what's being seen by audiences. It's all moving so quickly what with Xbox and PS3 in gaming and then Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk in movies.

But a lot has changed in only a few months as Knight Rider has developed into a series. In the TV movie, KITT actually used nanotechnology to change colors and temporarily morph into other cars. Instead KITT (voiced by Val Kilmer) has been upgraded to a 2008 Ford Mustang GT500KR that's fully loaded with artificial intelligence, biometrics, and morphing capabilities. Gone is the 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am KITT of old.

With the success of the contemporized reboot of NBC's Knight Rider as a two-hour movie event last spring, Michael Knight (Justin Bruening) and KITT are now back for weekly adventures starting Wednesday, Sept. In its place is an upgraded 2008 Ford Mustang GT500KR that's fully loaded with AI, biometrics, and morphing capabilities. Knight Rider is back, and gone is the KITT of old.
