A legend returns. Peri Fractic and Dark Coast Pictures traveled to the iconic El Mirage dry lake – the original filming location of the Knight Rider opening titles – to film a shot-for-shot remake of the classic intro for a major upcoming documentary. And decided to keep going…
Subscribe for the documentary launch trailer coming soon. The intro wasn’t done with AI or 80s stock footage. Every shot (even the helicopter pursuit) was filmed in-camera with Peri at the yoke, to capture the soul of the original series.
It’s followed by a new fan episode made with Josh Turchetta, created out of love for Universal’s masterpiece.
