Trailer The Prisoner VOSTFR

[chicharwali]

watched it, its hilariously crap.

[MultiFunkmeister]

This remake does not seem to tread on nostalgia which is great but I hope the plot does not involve (as 1 too many American film does) the protagonists (number 6) saving the world from ultimate destruction...................­. :)

[Naturalhit]

Not the same as the classic, but I enjoyed it very much. Good plot.

[middyseafort]

Too bad this was a bland reimagining, reboot, rewhatever. It lacked the spectacular imagery and enigmatic aesthetic of the original.

[ChristmasThief77]

Does anyone have any idea what the name of the song is that starts at 6:12 ?

[KGBfbiSECUpolitia]

4:20 there's always a way OUT if one is a "Man" enough,it's called SUICIDE. Stupendously Spendid JAMesCaviezel is just playing a part but white SHITbrit ppl=ANIMALs have screwed their shit cuntry & theWorld, 4 Real but have noDecency to apologize or Kill themselves.The CUNTS boast ab. how much they had STOLEn from other countries (& wasted theLOOT on:PORN, FAKE boobs, PETs, Beer+cocKaine while HOSPITALs, SCHOOLs R DIRTY,old), how their KIDs R the LOOSEst,LAZIEST, most-IGNORANT,etc in theWORLD

[A711owner]

If anyones seen the new show of The Prisoner, the part where 2 is putting a grenade in 6 mouth a song is playing does anyone know what it is?

[Razza1091]

@A711owner If you're looking to get hold of the track, it's called In Blue Hawaii. It's on Brian Wilson's album Smile.

[guderianne]

c'est pour quand en france

[walter0bz]

they should have used daniel craig as number 6, and then gone to great lengths to explain that he isn't james bond.

[Evom777]

This better be the one thing that hollywood does not screw up as far remakes go. The trailer was put together good, but time will tell. It will be interesting to see how they portray the original 6. Coming from an American`s perspective, I always thought the original series took place somewhere near Britain. Look at the intro to the show....Patrick sure as hell aint driving an American car....the whole imagery was not American. Either way it`s trivial, hopefully this remake will not suck. BCNU

[julesexplorer]

Wow, lots of comments about whether the original Six was American or British. The important thing to remember was that he was playing a British character in the original.

Be interesting to see how they pull this off. Looks more of a film than a TV series here.

[pughga]

patrick macgoohan - 100% british (original 6)

[ChristmasThief77]

What is the name of the song starting at 6:12? I've almost got the rest of them nailed down. If anyone knows, please...

[lakerfan3118]

what are they?

[ChristmasThief77]

0:00 - 0:21 - The Tree Working For A Nuclear Free City

0:21 - 1:00 - The Double by We Fell To Earth

(Considerable gap)

7:44 - 9:16 - Uncharted - The El Dorado Megamix

[nathanlenny]

@ChristmasThief77

It's music from "28 Days Later" and that's my final answer.

I had been wondering the same question since this trailer was released. I knew I heard it before, I just couldn't remember where. Then it dawned on me yesterday that I heard it when I was going through fan Doctor Who music videos searching for another song (long story). Anyway I searched for that video, found it, and it said that the music was from 28 Days Later. I looked up that movie's music and voila. Magic.

[ChristmasThief77]

Really? A shame. I ran into that song weeks ago, but I thought it was too different. I really hope it exists and it wasn't a one-time remix.

[nathanlenny]

"In the House - In a Heartbeat" by John Murphy. I think you're right though, this has to be a cover of some sort. There are different versions of the song used in the sequel, but the original is the closest one in resemblence to this trailer, at least 35 seconds into it anyway.

[100000000senman]

I'm surprised that they used the remix of Uncharted Drake's Fortune towards the end of the promo.

[awarenessaddict77]

they should put the original series on for everybody who missed it or wasn't born born back then...it's a masterpiece!!!

[ThingsWeSaidToday]

I object to an American no. 6 not because of patrick mcgoohan's nationality (btw... he's british. culturally that is.) but because the stereotype of the plucky american against the oppressive englishman is carried on. come on, the american revolution is over.

[funkymonkey30]

It's an extremely tough remake to do!!!

Time will tell.

[karlost23]

Jeeze, from the comments so far it looks like one poster needs some gas through the keyhole and a nice relaxing stay in The Village.

I'll watch the re/make/imagining (can't be as bad as Planet of the Apes - that's impossible) and the little cars look cool :)

[Wildie1990]

am so not impressed with this, the prisoner will never be the same with this remake, it will be a load of crap

[wilywiddop]

He's no Patrick McGoohan is he?

[Elric33239]

Also, I have the Original on DVD, so if this show turns out to be a dud, it's not like someone from The Village is going to come to my apartment and steal them while denying that The Original ever existed. Nostalgia is wonderful but I won't let it stop me from looking at a new spin on an old concept that nobody involved in it wants to "replace the old" or compete with it. Be Seeing You!

[Elric33239]

I'm on the fence on this one. I'm old enough to remember The Original Series but I'm intrigued by this "retelling" in spite of my general contempt for other "re-invent a classic" projects on film & TV. While The New #6 is nothing like McGoohan, I have a feeling that this will pull in more American viewers than an entirely British cast would on USTV while Sir Ian will add the necessary dry Brit wit that past #2s contributed to The Original (although Leo McKern, my favorite #2, was Australian).

[scouserfourteen]

I am really looking forward to it! My only disappointment is an American #6. I don't buy that it will draw more American viewers. They seem to be ok with James Bond, Harry Potter and Austin Powers ; )

[Elric33239]

I hate to break the news to you, but The Original Number 6 WAS AN AMERICAN! Look it up at IMDB if you don't believe me! The point that I was making is that between Brits & Aussies taking elocution lessons to appear on American TV shows and the establishment of BBC America prompting an AMC/ITC alliance, an exclusively British show isn't going to fly in this global entertainment market if it doesn't appeal to American couch potatoes! I'm not proud of that fact but I can't ignore it either!

[tzikeh]

You're entirely incorrect. Patrick McGoohan--Number Six--conceived, wrote, and starred in the series as a semi-continuation of his "Secret Agent" series. If you look at the opening to the show, he's clearly in London where he quits his job. Listen to any episode--Number Six is British. I can't imagine why you would think the original Number Six is American--The Prisoner is a classic British television series.

[Elric33239]

Look at his entry at the IMDB website! Patrick McGoohan was born in NYC, NY and his parents were IRISH! He was British EDUCATED but he wasn't BRITISH! And Patrick HIMSELF has said in numerous interviews that Number 6 was NOT John Drake! Also, John Drake worked for an INTERNATIONAL organization and answered to British SUPERIORS. While he obviously lived and worked in London, it was never stated that the UK was where his birth country was!

[tzikeh]

Saying Patrick McGoohan is American because he lived in NYC until he was four is the same as saying Mel Gibson is American because he lived in New Jersey until he was four. McGoohan was a Brit. Gibson is an Australian. Number Six's accent is clearly British. You need to lay off the caps-lock key; all it does is make you look like a gibbering monkey who thinks an actor's nationality is a life-or-death piece of information.

[Elric33239]

On the other hand, you're saying that McGoohan is British because you choose to ignore that his parents were Irish and he was born and spent a good deal of his adult life in the US would also be like saying that Bob Hope was an American even thought he was born in Britain and that Amanda Tapping is either an American or a Canadian even though she was born in the UK as well! And yes, Mel Gibson IS an American despite his Aussie-raised accent!

[tzikeh]

Also, you understand that Ireland is part of Britain, right? Because saying his parents were Irish (excuse me, IRISH!) makes it more likely that he's British than not, yes? Perhaps a Valium or something will help you out. Be seeing you--oh, wait, BE SEEING YOU!!!!!OMGELEIVENTY!!

[Elric33239]

I don't believe that anyone who lives in Ireland would consider themselves British, especially the IRA...I'm sorry, the ira, so I wouldn't be the only one who thinks you're full of it!

[Elric33239]

And perhaps a few courses in geography, history and political science could educate you about the difference between The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland! Guess which ones Patrick's parents came from? And unless you want to be arrested for practicing medicine without a license, I would suggest that YOU lay off the Valium and the stupidity pills that you're taking because you don't need caps to look like an idiot!!!

[Elric33239]

And I'm not the one who's got a problem with an American Number Six so I'm not hung up on nationalities, Mr. or Ms. "McGoohan is a Brit because he appeared on a popular British show, so there ! NAH!" Grow the hell up and admit you're clueless!

[tzikeh]

I never said I had a problem with an American Number Six. I don't. I never said McGoohan was British because he appeared on a popular British show. I have no idea where you got these ideas. But you've posted *seven times* about this nothing topic with incredible amounts of vitriol, while I've never been remotely angry. The only one who looks clueless, or like an idiot, is you. Don't you have anything better to do?

[RonBlack2]

Can anyone tell me what the music used in this is? I especially want to know the last track.

[prothonotar]

I don't understand all the haters. Nobody's watching the original version (not because it isn't good, but because it isn't shown). It's not like AMC will be burning all the prints of it. If you don't like the remake, don't watch it. Go watch the original instead. Not everything has to be about you and your childhood memories.

[sfocata]

It's not just a matter of ignoring the new version and nostalgifying over childhood memories. There's just no reason for this to exist. It's not like two different interpretations of Shakespeare (etc); this is just another attempt to get more money without the need for new creative thought. Why not just write a new story? It's not as if creepy, overwrought conspiracy theories are hard to come by these days.

[Elric33239]

But wouldn't any attempts to explore this theme still be considered derivative and imitative? At least this concept doesn't pretend to be anything other than a re-examination of an old premise without making an effort to "replace" it! You say there's no reason for it to exist but ask anyone in your neighborhood under 30 years of age if they've ever HEARD of The Original! And if it's done right, it COULD be considered comparable to "modernizing Shakespeare" without obvious visual effects!

[r4ske]

should have been made in original location or at least try to find a better location than the dessert.i started noddig off during the trailer just seems to be missing something and is miscast with the american actor, christopher eccleston was made for this part.

[vitalsign77]

Just America improving on shitty, bad teeth, britsh garbage. I have always found it odd that the british invented the english language but you cant understand a god-damn thing they are saying. Sounds like they are talking with a mouth full of shit. Maybe thats why their teeth look like they do.

[mantle31]

Take me to the Village and give me a number rather than subject me to this horrendous remake.

[EvalDeval]

... i guess that you all will just have to stone me. i can't wait to completely see how they re-imagine this! The original series was paranoid and genius! i can feel that same sense here. Ian McKellan as No. 2 works wonderfully for me, since it couldn't be McGoohan. Furthermore, there were so many nods to the original in that trailer, that you can tell respects the source material. Give me a number badge, and i'll sit gleefully through the familiar odyssey... 'Be seeing you...'

[fetters1978]

Dear God no! Why do these TV people insist of destroying my childhood by remaking great television series with lead actors who if they stood still would sprout leaves?

Even Ian McKellen can't save this one.

[ianb214]

Is NOTHING sacred anymore ?

WHY are they doing this ?

The original was one of the most original, groundbreaking TV series ever - this looks like a typical, lowest common denominator, pile of poo !!!

[pointreyes6]

Pat McGoohan would have hated this!!

[RoversMaster]

He was alive when they made it and said that it was good.(Although he hinted that he wanted to be Number 2)

[mariegriffiths]

Ian Mckellan as no 2 is excellent but there is only so much a master actor like him can do to polish a turd. The lead is dreaful. No angst, intelligence or cyncism. The setting looks cheap and inconsistent. Where it borrows from the original it is it too poor. Giving 'The Hero' a girlfriend and pointless explosions Arrrrrgh. Hollywood bland uniformity stamped all over it.

[CarterdeMars]

Ironic that 50 years later they make a remake. Doesn't doing this totally go against everything the orginal, The Prisoner stood for. We live in a society that is obsessed with doing remakes of previous movies because they think they will have an automatic audience for it. This is totally Village like behaviour people, and I for one am not some abject number that you can count among this audience.

Be Seeing You

[Azul84]

Au contraire, my friend.

If they had done it with the same prerogative it would be the lack of initiative I would expect from someone from The Village. When they change it, they innovate. If it is for the worse or the better, doesn't matter.

[XboxXXX]

this is fucking terrible.......

[BrittGuy08]

Number 2 is just a smart-assed old queen.

Number Six is a wimp.

The whole village is a boat full of wankers.

[mintybartlam]

Generic. This doesn't seem to have the slightest hint of the charm, originality & Englishness :) of the original. It all seems so predictable.

[Elric33239]

Perhaps that's the point. Overt "Englishness" wouldn't be a great selling point to many American viewers who take perverse pride in turning up their noses at classic British shows like The Original Avengers and Doctor Who Old AND New! While I loved those shows since I was a kid, I'm not naive enough to believe that a new Prisoner filmed at Portmeiron is going to excite anyone under 40 years old or draw in a new viewership. I'm giving this show a chance before I start throwing stones prematurely!

[orson12]

It just looks so...bland.

Does it add a single new idea to a dazzling original?

[SuperAl19]

why add stuff, when the original was so good? they aer just remaking it for the younger people who dont feel like watchin crappy quality oldies

[zackzwiezen]

nope...

[binracer71]

Sorry should have given this project to Tim Burton, one American, who you can trust not to ruin, such a cult classic, and probably have added a few new twists. Cant belive the writers are those behind the period dramas for BBC, they should have known better. Even SKY had plans in film this, and after doing a grand job of Terry Pratchett's Disc World novels, would have done a better job. I have no problem with casting. But would McKellen have filmed Lord of the Rings in the desert? Eh! really?

[SuperAl19]

lmao tim burton hahahaha ya okay. burton would give u a village full of gothic people

[binracer71]

Sorry this looks like a dissapointment. What have they done to the Village, it was an important part of the story, by setting it in the desert, limits the way No 6 has to escape, and the bizzare and quirky mystery that lay behind it. I agree with an earlier comment that it looks like Lost and X Files, and we've seen it all before. This will never stand up to the original which is still good today as it was then. Sorry guys you've buggered this one up.......... "Be seeing You"

[timelordfromhell]

im glad that rover is the same...it looks like it has potential and sir ian's acting is, as always, perfect!, we shall see

x

[JeanEmmanuelDeluxe]

What the hell Magneto is doing in the Prisoner ?

It looks like a mix between Prison Break, lost & X-Files.

The original serie was art this remake is just a boring generic mass produced piece of Hollywood corporate junk.

Bland & lowbrow with stupid explosions!!

Guess...maybe at the end of the show we will learn that Ben Laden is number 1...yes this is that bad!

[rotomagnus2]

As a fan of the original prisonner, i'm quite frightened by this trailer...What mean these "repressed memories", these explosions ? Why not some gunfights ? Number nine zero nine ? Is it a call number ? This remake looks like a betrayal...Wait and see.

[JeanEmmanuelDeluxe]

This is dreadfull!! There should be a law about not messing with PMG masterpiece-

[medusasmiles]

I am looking forward to this new series. As a rabid fan of the original - I am looking at this as a sequel rather than a remake - with a new number 6. It was nice to see dear old Rover make an appearance and McKellen as No2 is really excellent casting. Looks promising and as a mini-series essential viewing.

[unclejake2]

This is not The Prisoner...
