| - The Incredible Knight Rider is a 2009 American science-fiction action-adventure film directed by Marc Webb, produced by Dave Andron and written by Stuart Beattie, David Elliot, and Paul Lovett. It is the 1982 TV series of the same title created by Glen A. Larson, produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and Marvel Entertainment. It is the third Marvel Climatic Universe (MCU) film. The film stars David Hasselhoff, reprising his role as Michael Knight, a high-tech modern crime fighter assisted by KITT, an advanced artificially intelligent, self-aware and nearly indestructible car. William Peterson and James Earl Jones voice KITT and KAAR. The film also stars Channing Tatum as M. J., Michael's estranged son, and Angie Savage as Spider-Man character Mary Jay Watson. The film tells the story of Michael Knight and his estranged son as they work with KITT and Big Hero 6 to stop KAAR from launching a nuclear attack on the United States. Development of the film began in 2002, when Revolution Studios announced a partnership with Mayhem Pictures to create a film adaptation of the television series. The film was re-designed to be similar to Revolution's previous project, XXX. Series creator Glen A. Larson was hired to write the first script draft, with the series' lead actor David Hasselhoff attached to advise the project and also have an onscreen role. In April 2003, Revolution Studios hired screenwriters David Elliott and Paul Lovett to pen the film's script. Stuart Beattie joined the project later on. In 2004, Marvel Studios brought the rights to the Knight Rider franchise. During pre-production, the main characters were cast in 2006. Using Red Digital Cinema Camera Company's RED Epic camera, principal photography started in December 2006 in Los Angeles before moving to New York City. The film entered post-production in April 2007. 3ality Technica provided 3D image processing, and Sony Pictures Imageworks handled CGI. Warner Bros. Entertainment built a promotional website, releasing many previews and launched a viral marketing campaign, among other moves. Tie-ins included a video game by Beenox. The film premiered on July 1 in Tokyo, and was released in the United States on July 4 in 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D and released in home media in November 2009. The Incredible Knight Rider was critically acclaimed by critics, praising mostly David Hasselhoff's reprisal of Michael Knight, Channing Tatum and Angie Savage's performances, the visual style, Henry Jackman's score, the super hero take on the Knight Rider franchise, and William Peterson and James Earl Jones' voice portrayals of KITT and KAAR. Both critics, audiences and NBC were mixed about the introduction of the Spider-Man character, the Lizard, which was considered too surreal for the film, and the appearance of Mary Jay Watson was consistered way too soon after Spider-Man 3 (2007). The film was a box office success, grossing over $455 million worldwide.
