Heat Vision and Jack

Heat Vision And JackHeat Vision and Jack could be making the jump to the big screen from the small screen. Oh what’s that? You’ve never heard of Heat Vision and Jack? Well that’s probably because it’s pilot episode never actually made it to the airwaves.

Here’s the rub. Heat Vision and Jack featured Ben Stiller and Jack Black back before they were big names. Heat Vision was a motor cycle (like KITT) whose voice was done by who else… Owen Wilson.

Anyway, at a recent KONG press junket, Jack Black spilled that they are all looking at making a film version of the failed TV show. The good folks over at MovieHole give us the following:

The failed sitcom, about an astronaut whose on the from his evil employers (Ron Silver is the main bad guy, playing himself) with the aid of a talking motorcycle called Heat Vision (voiced by Owen Wilson), is possibly going to find life as a movie, star Jack Black said yesterday.

Though the FOX TV pilot for “Heat Vision and Jack” never made it to air, it has played at several film festivals to much acclaim.

I don’t know about this… sounds like a bit of a stretch, even for the new rat pack. I mean, could a project like this get away without being labeled as a Knight Rider rip off (even though a lot of years have passed?). Have any of you seen the pilot episode? If so… what did you think?

**UPDATE**
Christian has been kind enough to point us to where the original pilot can be downloaded! Just go here.
