I’m yakking about movies today. IMDB lists The Prisoner scheduled for 2001 release. Patrick McGoohan, the original Prisoner himself, is listed as executive producer, but it is yet to be seen how influential his role will be. Staying true to the spirit of the TV series is a tall order. Surreal is an understatement when describing the show, and I’m not sure the mass movie audiences take well to surreal. With Barry Mendel (Sixth Sense) producing, it has a good chance of keeping the dark flavor. I will hope for the best. After all, nothing could be worse then when they changed the ending to The Scarlet Letter.
