The Prisoner (2009)
I didn’t know they were remaking “The Prisoner”. I watched the original series as a child on PBS. But this time is premiering on the AMC channel (combo producing of AMC and ITV) and from the previews it looks like an action action miniseries than the cerebral action television show of the 60’s. Either way it has Ian McKellen (as #2) and James Caviezel (as #6). I’m not a fan of this decade’s film and television TPTB’s need to remake and recycle every thing from the past but the battle between #6 and #2, whether action or cerebral, is something I really want to watch. So I go again into the breach and give hope that this is going to be good (It has Magneto and the Outlander, what could go wrong. :) ). It premieres November 09. See the 9 minute trailer below.


If you want to watch the original 17 episodes, AMC is streaming all of them to gear up for the premiere of the miniseries.
