we have seen "knight rider", "V", "battlestar galactica" coming back in the 21st century. maybe it's time for the studio to consider this TV series too? i think Zach Braff or Zachary Levi can be considered for the leading role.
shareYes this series needs to be brought back either as a series or a movie. I loved this show but the reboot shouldn't be as campy as the show was.
shareI would agree with a reboot but not in the vein of the titles mentioned. BG started off strong then became a soap opera, V did you even know the show was on the air?, and the less said about Knight Rider the better.
I also would disagree about not doing the campy nature. If by campiness you mean the comedy that ensued at Ralph's expense in his personal life in just wearing the suit, no that's a main premise of the show. Any reboot, should stick with Stephen J. Cannell's original premise, an ordinary guy who gets this wacky outfit that makes him do extraordinary things and how it affects his regular life. You also need the trio of over zealous cop/agent/law guy, liberal hero and his earnest comedic girlfriend/wife. The students can be less caricature and more realized. You can mix action and personal stories together. The main fixture always has to be Ralph, Pam and Bill and how they deal with this extraordinary suit.
How about this
Owen Wilson as ralph
Tommy lee jones as bill
Courtney cox as Pam
that could work yes they should keep in the fact he doesn't know how to use the suit.
I wouldn't mind seeing this rebooted but I fear that they'd mess it up given what modern audiences find 'funny'.
