TV WEEK: The Prisoner remake billboard...

The Prisoner remake TV mini-series billboardObey. Resist.

This unconventional billboard for the 2009 remake mini-series of The Prisoner, featuring the enigmatic eyes of Ian McKellen and a giant sphere looming behind Jim Caviezel, really did stand out.

This perplexing remake of the original cult classic from the late 60's retains certain surreal elements in the billboard, like the 'Rover' security system (the giant white balloon) to keep 'Number Six' trapped in 'The Village', to whet our appetites.

This TV billboard was photographed along Highland and Fountain Avenue on October 28, 2009.
