The Prisoner remake

[dlx1]

Tonight 9PM

There is only one Patrick McGoohan
As it a remake going to be shit ?

 

[mrs quoad]

I doubt that they can really tie the whole thing together at the end

but that would still be in keeping with the original.

Well exactly!

it's not a remake, it's.... something else.

 

[danny la rouge]

What have I seen 313 in?

It was ITV1, i've got it on my box. I've not seen it yet. If you missed it you could either come round here at a time of my choosing with copious amounts of weed and alcohol ... or

it's a 'Reimagining' allegedly.

 

[Thora]

I didn't really get it.

 

[rioted]

I didn't really get it.

Did you "get" the original?

And the original "conclusion": yes it was hippy shit. More journey than conclusion, process than artifact. Brilliant!

 

[Thora]

Never seen the original, when was it on?

 

[rioted]

Never seen the original, when was it on?

Probably before you were born.

 

[spliff]

Never seen the original, when was it on?

29 September 1967 to 1 February 1968

Thanks for the offer but I watched it with large amounts of alcohol on my own.

 

[dlx1]

I have original box set.

Last night well that seemed along hour.

 

[Citizen66]

I've got the originals.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

*claps slowly*

 

[Onket]

I missed the very beginning and got irritated by how frequent the adverts were. Seemed like they've kept the ad breaks the same as they would have been in America, which isn't a good sign.

Anyway, I gave up but I'm recording the series so I'll give it another go, probably.

 

[krtek a houby]

Of course I loved the orginal but The Prisoner already has a spiritual heir...

Lost.

 

[vauxhallmum]

I don't understand.

It's cast here, it's made here but the main characters are American

I only saw little bits of the original but I don't remember anyone from the State in it.

Haven't we got enough actors here or something?

I'm quite enjoying it, however

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I'm enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would

 

[vauxhallmum]

I have a suspicion that apart from Jim thingy they are all British actors putting on the accent.
How sad and desperate is that?
We have no confidence in our own tv drama anymore

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

It's cast here, it's made here but the main characters are American

Sir Ian is American??

Mind you I think that is a bit 'token' and he is one of the biggest filmstars in the world.

It's all a bit boring, though the biggest problem for me is that they have clearly got the wrong lead.

 

[dlx1]

Even tho I know it rubbish I still watched last night

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Today I have been getting myself ready for the next remake.
