[Fwd: The Prisoner]

AMC gave critics a (very) early look at its take on the sci-fi classic The Prisoner Thursday, and though the footage was still pretty rough, one thing was clear: The six-episode miniseries isn’t going to be a carbon copy of the original.

“We’re huge fans of the original, be we knew we couldn’t copy it,” producer Trevor Hopkins says. “Will it be as surprising as the original? We hope so.”

AMC’s take on The Prisoner stars Jim Caviezel as 6, who finds himself as the newest and most unwilling resident of the Village. Sir Ian McKellen plays 2, the man in charge who’s bent on seeing that 6 takes to his new home.

The original series, which premiered in the United States in 1968, starred Patrick McGoohan as No. 6, and it concluded after 17 episodes with open questions about nearly every major story point — “Hence the enduring fascination, I think,” McKellen says. “People are still arguing as to what’s the meaning of it all.”

The new version, written by Bill Gallagher, won’t leave so many things up in the air, McKellen says. “By episode six you’ll know everything about the Village, where it came from, who created it and why, what it’s like to actually live there.”

It also won’t look much like the original. Rather than the quaint, very English-looking setting of the ’60s show, the new Prisoner places its Village in a desert (it was filmed in Namibia), with rows of identical A-frame structures sprouting up from the sand. The look, and the casting of the American Caviezel as 6, were part of an effort to give the show a more global feeling.

“It would have been a little parochial” to make a 21st-century version of the show so Brit-centric, director Nick Hurran says. McKellen adds that the more worldly vibe was part of what attracted to him, and that “to have an American at the center of it seems appropriate in a way that it wouldn’t have been for the original.”

Fans of the original, though, will see more than a few little homages to the McGoohan series. In one clip McKellen (who appears to be having a blast playing 2) intones, “Be seeing you,” and Hurran says that Rover — the giant orb that followed McGoohan around — may make an appearance. The central themes also remain the same.

As Hurran puts it, “As in the original, [the Village] is an ideal world where everything is provided — as long as you don’t ask questions. 6 is the only one who questions.”

The Prisoner is scheduled to premiere on AMC in November. Episodes of the original are available online at amctv.com.
