THE PRISONER: The New Village Revealed

Tuesday 19 August 2008

Yes, that's the new Village. More precisely, The Prisoner remake is filming in Swakopmund, a coastal town in South Africa with German-colonial architecture. To my eye, it resembles a cross between the original show's Portmeiron and Seahaven from The Truman Show (itself inspired by the '60s series). There are a few more photos at Den Of Geek. I think fans will be very pleased with the location scout's work. What do you think?

The six-part remake of the classic series, starring Jim Caviezel (as Number Six) and Ian McKellen (as Number Two) has now started filming. It will be broadcast next year on AMC and ITV. Be seeing you!
