Poitier Gets Knight Role
Actress Sydney Poitier (Grindhouse) has landed a role on NBC's two-hour movie Knight Rider, which will serve as a pilot for a possible remake of the TV series about a man and his talking car, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Transformers-inspired sequel centers on Mike Tracer (Justin Bruening), the son of Michael Knight, the character played by David Hasselhoff in the original show. Poitier will play a feisty FBI agent who dislikes Mike.
Poitier, youngest daughter of actor Sidney Poitier, starred in Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof portion of the Grindhouse double feature, as well as in the CW series Veronica Mars.
