I just saw an article that him and Emma were talking with a Bond producer. I'm wondering if he may go that route. New Bond movie. Cillian just said that he thinks he's too old to be Bond. Maybe Christopher can add him, even a small part in his next film.

We live in the very totalitarian future the original The Prisoner TV series warned us against. The 6 part remake failed for the same reason another remake will fail, because what makes the original 1967 The Prisoner so popular to this very day is that McGoohan's classic is Anti-Woke to it's very core!!! TPTB cannot stomach anything that would follow the original theme of resistance to tyranny, they would rather continue to die at the box office at Billions in losses than admit they will never succeed in brainwashing the public into submission.

The original 1967 “The Prisoner” is a 17-episode masterpiece of a miniseries created by and starring Patrick McGoohan. I was too young to see it back then but I caught it on PBS in the 1980s. It’s fabulous on so many levels and absolutely glues you to the screen. I’ve watched it several times in the past 35 years. I hope Nolan can film it in the same Welsh village. The intro, music, intensity, new No. 2, etc. are mesmerizing. AMC made a remake in 2009 which was terrible. Ridley Scott was supposed to do a film version but glad he didn’t due to the way he butchered Napoleon. Be seeing you.

I was a teenager in the sixties and my fav shows were The Prisoner and The Avengers. I went on to become (in Canada) a secondary school English teacher and I actually taught The Prisoner to a number of classes. It is perfect in order to teach character and symbol and theme and so on. When you consider that in 1967 televisions as a staple piece of tech furniture in households had only been around for about 15 years and what had evolved as television entertainment in that short period of time is quite stunning. My license plate is a take on The Prisoner’s Lotus plate. And funnily enough, people have stopped me and asked me about it. The standard lives on. I truly hope that Nolan or anyone decides to do a truly intelligent remake of the series although it is not unlike having someone trying to remake Casablanca (not remotely possible) or any other iconic film/series. So I would rather no one did than someone who doesn’t grasp the whole point of the series. I know that I totally understand it so they should make the effort to contact me before they embark on an attempt to remake it. Just sayin’.

"The Prisoner" is my favorite series from the 60s. My favorite episode is "Hammer and Anvil". I would really like to see Nolan bring this intriguing series into the modern times with the same sharp focus he does in all his projects. Another series from that time that deserves a remake is "The Rogues" about a retired con family that steal from the rich and give to the poor, the opposite from how things work nowadays.

It stars Alec Guinness and Jack Hawkins. Many elements from this 1955 film were recreated in McGoohan's series of the same name and the actor "Kenneth Griffith" appeared in both productions!
