Talk of film versions of The Prisoner make me groan. The Prisoner was half genius, half utter rubbish and (more importantly) a product of it's time. It is so late 60's it's unbelievable. But personally I love the fist 10 or so episodes. How can a single film even get close?
However now there is a sliver of hope, SCI FI Wire is reporting that Christopher Nolan is set to direct it. This is good for several reasons, not least of which is that he's a great director. Secondly he's English which I think is important to retain the feel of the village, that eccentric, weird, upperclass craziness.
