DAVID HASSELHOFF - HASSELHOFF'S KNIGHT RIDER SET BACK

DAVID HASSELHOFF's dreams of taking his KNIGHT RIDER TV show to the big screen have hit a snag, after a dispute with his movie studio.

The BAYWATCH hunk has spent years trying to resurrect the hit series about a talking car and had reportedly lined up a studio to make the movie - with BEN AFFLECK being touted to play Hasselhoff's MICHAEL KNIGHT character.

But the 51-year-old has parted ways with the studios after an "artistic difference".

A source tells American news site THE SCOOP, "The studio didn't want the car to talk. David was like, 'Hello?' So he's switching studios."
