A 15-second teaser was just shown on NBC for a new “Knight Rider” TV series that will debut on NBC on Feb. 17, 2008. This is not to be confused with the 2010 “Knight Rider” film that will hit theaters. The video is below.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s “There Will Be Blood” is hand’s down one of the best films of 2007. The film stars an Oscar-worthy performance by a “Gangs of New York”-reminiscent Daniel Day-Lewis.

CHICAGO – The makers of “Scary Movie,” “Date Movie” and “Epic Movie” should be kicking themselves right now for never thinking to make “Musical Bio-Pic Movie”.
