15 years, 6 months ago at Oct 31 17:23 - If you haven't already heard, AMC is remaking Patrick McGoohan's 60's cult show "The Prisoner."
The series will air starting in 2009. Ian McKellen is cast as Number 2 and Jim Caviezel as Number 6. It's Gandalf versus Jesus!
More here.
I'm a pretty big fan of the original show, so I'm hoping AMC doesn't fsck it up too terribly. One major problem is that the concept of a complete surveillance society as portrayed in the original Village is now commonplace.
Still, AMC has a pretty good record when it comes to original series ("Mad Men" and "Breaking Bad" are great) so I've got some hope that the show won't suck.
