Steven Shill has been asked to direct the new 2 hour Knight Rider pilot for NBS TV network.

The popular 80’s TV show is due to return to our screens later next year, but thankfully not with David Kasslehoff behind the wheel.

It was originally thought that Doug Liman, who is executive producing the project, would direct the pilot, but due to prior commitments this was viewed as impossible.

Shill is by no means cheap seconds though, having shows like The Sopranos, The Wire, Rome, Carnivàle, Deadwood and Big Love under his belt!
