This week, AMC premieres their updated version of the classic sf/ fantasy series, The Prisoner. We begin our backstage visit to the set by tackling the question of how to approach the story with a 2009 eye and yet still keep at least some of the 1968 charm. Producer Trevor Hopkins gives his frank answers, plus the cast of NBC tells us what they really think about the Jay Leno situation and Warren Ellis sells more stuff to the movies!

Is there something rather queer about the AMC remake of the 1960's hit The Prisoner?
Find out after the jump!
Yesterday's panel at the Television Critics Association tour in Los Angeles certainly gave me reason to think so. And as you know, we're always looking for the queer in TV. No, I'm not referring to the presence of Sir Ian McKellen as Two who is insisting that Six, played by Jim Caviezel, stay in the remote creepy village that provides the setting for The Prisoner.
I'm referring to what the show's director Nick Hurran and producer Trevor Hopkins told me after the panel when I asked if the show was going to include any gay content (my standard question at every TCA panel). After exchanging glances, Hurran and Hopkins said AfterElton.com readers would definitely want to watch the show.
