The Prisoner remake from ITV/AMC is rounding out its cast. Jim Caviezel (Passion Of The Christ) and Sir Ian McKellen are the big stars, as Number 6 and Number 2 respectively, but there's also:
Lennie James (Jericho) as Number 147.
Jamie Campbell Bower (Sweeney Todd) as Number 11-12.
Hayley Atwell (Brideshead Revisited) as Number 41-5.
Ruth Wilson (Jayne Eyre) will be playing Number 313. She recently spoke about the series, which starts filming soon:"It's [about] this guy who gets taken into this village and everyone's got a number, not a name. And it’s about how he finds his way back, and what the village is. It's very ambiguous but completely different. I don't wear a corset in it, finally, in my career."
"[The miniseries is set] now, but kind of timeless. It’s like a parallel universe. It's a bit weird and sci-fi-ish, but it's kind of now. It's a six-part television series. [My character] is the love interest, but it also is someone who is working for a very important corporation. And she's not what she seems... she turns up in the village blind, and with a number. And you don't know whether it's a joke, or if she’s in a parallel world."
"She's in a parallel world, and it’s actually a different part of her. It’s very ambiguous, very interesting. I’ve got an American accent to do."
