Ian McKellen, Jim Caviezel and Jamie Campbell Bower on their roles in the remake of the 1960's classic, 'The Prisoner,' which debuts Nov. 15th on AMC. (Nov. 11)
The thing about the original is that it is free of the need to prove how well produced it is, how deep it is, how expensive it is. The original series was a combination of different philosphies; surrealism, human psychology, the force that creates consciousness, politics and power, tribalism, science as a governor of society, civilisation versus instict, the self versus the self molded for public display. With that much to work with, it did not need to be soft focus. The new one still has merit.
@senseTUBE No it wasnt that bad, the premise was basically the same. I wASNT a carbon copy! McGoohan was consultant on this show, and WAS going to play 93 in the opening sequence but was too ill and died not long after.
I have happened to watch the old Prisoner multiple times and this is rather equally good and well-produced.

@frantic1971 I believe Mcgoohan came from America.
I don't think I would like this series as much as the original.
What is Ian talking about... anti-capitalism?
