The hit 80s TV show Knight RIder will be brought to the big screen, but without main star David Hasselhoff.

Apparently, former Miramax heads Harvey and Bob Weinstein have struck a deal with show creator Glen A. Larson, who will write and executive produce the film.

"I am a huge fan of the original series and could not be happier that we've joined forces with Glen Larson to bring these iconic characters to the big screen," Harvey Weinstein said.

"Teaming up with Harvey and Bob, with their unparalleled success in motion picture, gives Knight Rider an exciting opportunity to be a breakout franchise," Larson said.
