I'd be down. I've got the new remastered box set from the UK (not available in North America for the forseeable future).

Yeah, the new UK box kicks the A&E box's butt.

Although now that McGoohan's passed on, maybe they'll replicate it here. All-new transfers from original film elements vs. A&E's old laserdisc-era video transfers, and newly remastered soundtracks. The difference is striking.

Fuck, this is the first I've heard of it.
(I was away from communications for a while)
Wow.
I thought about the Prisoner today. The first time I've thought
about it in a while. I thought of a screenplay for a movie influenced
by The Prisoner today.

This means I must write the screenplay!

It is my absolute opinion that only Colin Firth has the brooding intensity
required to portray Number 6 on the silver screen.

This scene shows Colin Firth walking angrily, as Number Six does in the Prisoner intro:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZVPSDbmI9Q

That's a fucking Number Six if I ever saw one!

It'll probably be a Jason Statham thing with kung fu and explosions.
