What's that you say? Remaking The Prisoner??

Promo....


Nylon Article...


um..sounds sort of....weak.... Wasn't that sort of the point of the original Prisoner... to push boundaries and create a surreal diegesis?

"The stars promise that this version won't be quite as surreal as the original, which reflected the rumored widespread...er, partying among the production team. "The pushed a lot of boundaries in the original," says Campbell Bower. "All the guys who were doing it were on LSD, improvising a lot. But this one is far more Americanized than its predecessor."

Hmm...so then... why not just come up with your own twisted/mystery/thriller/david lynchian primetime series? Instead of ripping off a cult classic and then stripping it of all its cryptic-Operation Epsilon qualities... and well.... making it "Americanized".
