AMC tv in conjunction with itv have started production on a new, modern day version of 'The Prisoner'. I think this is great news as the original sixties tv series was brilliant. An intelligent, weird, complicated science fiction reflecting much of the attitudes and occurences of what was happening at the time of production in the sixties. It will be interesting to see how the new story is told for today's audiences as the producers have said it is not a prequel, sequel or reimagining which means The Prisoner of the sixties is still very much in their thoughts. Jim Caviezel of 'Frequency' and 'The Passion of the Christ' is playing the new No.6 which the great Sir Ian McKellan as No.2 (which presumably means the character will not change in every episode as he did in the original sixties version). I wonder if Patrick McGoohan will get involved with the project? Maybe pop up as an 80 year old prisoner in the new Village.
