The 'Knight Rider' Reboot From James Wan Sounded Awesome — So Why Hasn’t It Happened?

Any fan of 1980s television will know Knight Rider, the action crime drama series starring David Hasselhoff, aka "the Hoff," and the iconic Knight Industries Two Thousand, aka K.I.T.T., a sentient, indestructible Pontiac Firebird Trans Am with the coolest sweeping hood light bar ever (and yes, you can pick up your own light from Amazon!). After its cancellation, two television films, a 1997 spin-off and a rebooted TV series in 2008, kept Knight Rider alive, but the big news in 2020 was that James Wan was working on a film adaptation of the series. And then... nothing. What happened?
