    It looks like Rover will be making a comeback in the new version. Always makes for a great visual....

    Ooooh. TBH, this hasn't really been on my radar, I just assumed it would be pants despite the top notch cast. But the visuals look good, there is a hint that it might be an (gasp) intelligent update of the original concept and there is a great big scary white ballon. My hopes have been raised.

    Hum... meh.This takes me back to many hours wasted as a student watching the original. Its great that Ian Mckellan (sp?) is in this and it looks like they have a decent budget. I'm not sure about Jim Caviezel, I'm not sure he will be able to recapture the danger and mania which Patrick McGoohan had in the original. Still I expect I'll watch it... all I'm thinking is that it will be more Knight Rider remake than Battlestar Galactica. Still I'd love to be proved wrong.

    Hmm. I'm with you I think, bits look good - the desert is promising and who couldn't love Ian McKellen? But it feels a little too smooth. The hero looks all botoxed emotion, and the village like a shopping mall. Twin Peaks aside, I'm not sure America does quirkiness very well...

    And will they stay faithful to the ending?
