Access Hollywood aired yesterday this one minute segment on set at the KITTCave (sorry Satellite Surveillance Center or SSC). Not much in the way of new information learned if you've been reading SF and KRO, but one thing is interesting below.
That is Justin holding the KITT voice modulator globe, which makes us wonder if it's more than just a Voice display for KITT, but rather a portible device of some type. Looking in the background where the dash was, you can see the space is rough where it was taken from, so maybe it wasn't intentional!
Also Access Hollywood has a clip exclusive to their website of Justin Bruening learning to drive for speed at Ford High Performance Racing School in Tooele, Utah.

NBC have been hosting a press tour of all their different shows, and yesterday was the Knight Rider panel. Here below is a selection of interesting sound information leaned as well as images from the event.
Ben Silverman and Marc Graboff quoted on Knight Rider today:
Ben on the cozy relationship between "Knight Rider" and the car company that sponsors the show.Graboff: "If there's too much product integration, we don't even like to call it product integration...we're trying to integrate it more organically with the show, in a way that is organic to the show, something that advertisers are comfortable with and the show runners, more importantly, are comfortable with. And which the viewers are ultimately comfortable with."
Did they go too far with 'Knight Rider'?
Ben: "Well, it's about a car, ultimately. . . that was the star of the show."
From BuddyTV:
The Knight Rider series will be quite different and more evolved than the two-hour TV movie. The differences begin first with showrunner Gary Scott Thompson (who previously created Las Vegas and The Fast and the Furious), who was given carte blanche to fabricate his own world. Though the basic characters from the movie will remain, certain character backstories will change. Mostly, the lesbian subplot with Sydney Tamiia Poitier's character introduced in the movie will possibly be altered.There are also new characters who will help to maintain the car by working in what Thompson calls the KITT Cave. Thompson added that he has a long-term mythology plan for the series through at least two seasons which is based on the origins of KITT. He posed one question that he promises to answer throughout the series: "Why would you put artificial intelligence into a car?" Finally, despite rumors on the Internet, there are no plans for Thompson to bring characters from Las Vegas onto Knight Rider.
From EW:
Knight Rider Panel
The Players: Justin Bruening, Yancy Arias, Bruce Davison, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Paul Campbell, Deanna Russo, Smith Cho and exec producers Doug Liman, Dave Bartis and Gary Scott Thompson3:09 pm: Thompson doesn't rule out a cameo by The Hoff later in the season.
3:11 pm: Echoing the opinion of 98 percent of the critics in this room, Thompson felt the two-hour movie was lacking several things. Among them: "a turbo-boost." Interesting. I would've said "a decent script."
3:17 pm: Regarding reports (OK, one report) that Las Vegas' Danny and Delinda might make a cameo on KR, onetime Vegas EP Thompson confirms that the idea was broached in the writers' room, but, ultimately, he decided "it would be unfair to the fans of both shows to do that."
3:30 pm: It was just a phase! It's undecided whether Poitier's character will remain bisexual in the series. KITT, on the other hand, will continue to swing both ways.
When it was announced just over 20 days ago that the creator of "Las Vegas" and "Fast and the Furious" - Gary Scott Thompson - would be involved in Knight Rider a new level of credability became apart of the already talented team behind the new Knight Rider series.
Here now is part two of our exclusive two part interview with Gary Scott Thompson, Executive Producer and Showrunner of the new Knight Rider series, aring this fall on NBC. Be sure to check out part one if you haven't yet.
KRO: There might be some holdover from the people who did see the 2-hour movie.
Gary Scott Thompson: There is... and the problem is... look, I read your stuff, I read other things, some people didn't like it, some people did like it. Some people liked this character, some people didn't like that character. It's very hard to judge exactly what they did and didn't like, or who they did or didn't like. It's so much easier to say, that was then and this is now. That was the 2-hour, and now we're making the series. The series will have some elements that are the same, and a lot of different ones.

We spoke with Gary Scott Thompson (who will serve as Executive Producer and Showrunner), as he works on the preproduction of the series, on his thoughts about the past, and potential future of Knight Rider.
KRO: Thank you for taking the time to talk with me. How's everything going?
Gary Scott Thompson: You know, it's going pretty good. We're in there cranking out storylines and busting our butts to get some cool stuff and figuring out what this car is and what the car can do and what it can't do and what we're going to do here for a series.
