Page "Patrick McGoohan" Paragraph 21

McGoohan's name was linked to several aborted attempts at producing a new film version of The Prisoner.

In 2002, director Simon West ( Lara Croft: Tomb Raider ) was signed to helm a version of the story.

McGoohan was listed as executive producer for the film, which never came to fruition.

More recently, director Christopher Nolan attached to a proposed film version.

However, the source material remained difficult and elusive to adapt into a feature film.

Ultimately, a reimagining of the series was filmed for the AMC network in late 2008, with broadcast taking place in November 2009 ; McGoohan was not involved in the project.
