We at Geeks of Doom are very pleased to share with you this exclusive new clip from AMC’s remake of The Prisoner, the classic 1967 British series of the same name.
This re-interpretation of the original show — which ran 17 episodes from ’67 to ’68 — stars Jim Caviezel (The Passion of the Christ, Pay it Forward) in the lead role of Six (first played by Patrick McGoohan) and Sir Ian McKellen (The Lord of the Rings, The Da Vinci Code) in the role of Two. The miniseries also stars Ruth Wilson (Jane Eyre) as 313, Hayley Atwell (Mansfield Park) as Lucy, Lennie James (Snatch) as 147, and Jamie Campbell-Bower (Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd, Twilight: New Moon) as 11-12.

The Prisoner premieres on Sunday, November 15 from 8PM to 10PM ET | PT. The Prisoner will air over three consecutive nights, with two episodes each evening, from 8PM to 10PM ET | PT on AMC.
Here is a brief synopsis of the show:
A man, known as Six, finds himself inexplicably trapped in The Village with no memory of how he arrived. As he explores his environment, he discovers that his fellow inhabitants are identified by number instead of name, have no memory of any prior existence, and are under constant surveillance. Not knowing whom to trust, Six is driven by the need to discover the truth behind The Village, the reason for his being there, and most importantly — how he can escape.

I am weary but I love The Prisoner and so will give this a chance. It just doesn’t look that good from what I have seen.

Also, can we hope for a Maiden reference?
