David Hasselhoff in talks for 'Knight Rider' film

Actor David Hasselhoff has revealed he and James Gunn were in talks about a new "Knight Rider" movie.

The "Baywatch" star portrayed lead character Michael Knight in the original TV series from 1982 to 1986 and he said discussions between himself and the "Guardians of the Galaxy" director have been going well, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"I've given some ideas to James for 'Knight Rider' and he responded in a big way," he said.

"If it does go forward, I don't want it to be spoofed like 'Baywatch' or '21 Jump Street'. Those films lose what it's about and you have to respect the fans."
