Welcome (back) to the Village

A new Prisoner for a new generation. (And yes, there's still the giant bubbles).


I loved The Prisoner as a child, which I watched on public televesion in the late 70s (the programme came out in Britain the year I was born). It looks like they've gone to a great deal of trouble to capture the mystery of the original. This is a preview they did for Comic Con. It is a miniseries coming out on AMC in November, and this version stars Jim Caviezel as Number Six, and Ian McKellen as Number Two. I'm often dubious of remakes but I'm intrigued. I'll be watching.
