I heard that Sky are planning on broadcasting a remake of this excellent series. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Remake of 'The Prisoner'

Yes, pretty much. I have some photos from my visit there in 1995 which I plan to scan and display here for someone else who wanted to know what the resort looks like 'today'._"For an eternity Allard was alone in an icy limbo where all the colours were bright and sharp and comfortless.
_For another eternity Allard swam through seas without end, all green and cool and deep, where distorted creatures drifted, sometimes attacking him.
_And then, at last, he had reached the real world – the world he had created, where he was God and could create or destroy whatever he wished.
_He was supremely powerful. He told planets to destroy themselves, and they did. He created suns. Beautiful women flocked to be his. Of all men, he was the mightiest. Of all gods, he was the greatest."

I third that noooooooooooooo.... The Prisoner should be left alone. It stands as a classic in it's own right. Although I have really enjoyed Christopher Ecclestone's previous works especially in '28 Days Later' and more recently, last season's Dr Who, I really think they should leave it be. Of course I could just as easily change my mind...
Oh and I think it's one word "Portmeirion".- sorry don't know why I used that smillie...
and over in the big black booth near the edge of the fairground, the last band is playing...

I got the scanner back online last night after being out of action for a week, so as soon as I locate the photos I'll scan and upload them to the Hive.
Btw, I'm nt entirely sure it's been confirmed that Chris Eccleston* is doing this rumoured Prisoner remake. Last month it was said that Universal Pictures were about to sign a deal with Christopher (Batman Begins) Nolan to direct a Prisoner movie after he's finished filming Batman 2. The TV Prisoner show is supposed to be reccing in Australia(!) for locations, so it sounds like its still in development.
*It's Eccleston btw, not Ecclestone. Of course, true aficionados refer to him 'Chris Ecclescakes'.Last edited by David Mosley; 09-20-2006, 05:29 AM._"For an eternity Allard was alone in an icy limbo where all the colours were bright and sharp and comfortless.

Is it supposed to be a TV series or a movie? I read somewhere that they were trying to get Christopher Nolan to do a movie?Batman: It's a low neighborhood, full of rumpots. They're used to curious sights, which they attribute to alcoholic delusions.
Robin: Gosh, drink is sure a filthy thing, isn't it? I'd rather be dead than unable to trust my own eyes!
