Zap2It News=> Prisoner Remake Ready to Roll
Zap2It says that Sky One in the UK has greenlighted a new, updated version of the classic series, The Prisoner.
The original series, considered, arguably as either one of the masterpieces or modern television or a complete shambles of nonsense, was created by and starred Patrick McGoohan. The series revolved around an agent who resigns, apparently on moral grounds, and is kidnapped and taken to the mysterious Village. A small microcosm of society run by…? Our side? Their side? Who knows? Their goal, to break him psychologically. McGoohan’s character is known cryptically only as “No. 6”.
It sounds like this remake (there have been proposed remakes for years) will be closer to the original premise, and that, to me is a good sign.
Ninth Doctor, Christopher Eccleston, is said to be in line to play the part of No. 6. No word yet on if he’ll wear a leather jacket.
