The New Prisoner AMC TV Show

As written about previously regarding the viral seekthesix programme, AMC has a new “the prisoner”, a six part miniseries, already a victim of Too Much Information syndrome. Of interest is noting the fact that Patrick McGoohan turned down the role of James Bond in Live and Let Die (1973). Aside from the excellent presence of Ian McKellen as Number 2, the island now includes a desert. The video teaser from Comicon exposes/shows some of the deeper concepts:

* James Caviezal: (the new Number 6): “I want to get back to New York!”

* Ian McKellen: (The new Number 2): “That’s impossible: there is no New York.”

…and:

* Number 2: “Open your Mind.”

* Number 6: “If I open my mind, you’ll take it away from me!”
