Universal Pictures is near a deal for Christopher Nolan to direct a feature version of TV series classic The Prisoner, reports Variety. Janet and David Peoples are set to write the script. Scott Stuber, Mary Parent, Barry Mendel and Emma Thomas will produce.
The series lasted only 17 episodes in 1967. Patrick McGoohan played a government agent who resigns, is kidnapped and placed on an isolated island known as the Village. He's given a new identity -- Number Six -- and interacts with an island staff trying to get him to reveal why he resigned.
The trade says the plan is for Nolan to direct a contemporized transformation after he completes The Dark Knight, the Batman Begins sequel that begins production early next year at Warner Bros.
Janet and David Peoples wrote Twelve Monkeys together, and David Peoples co-wrote Blade Runner. Nolan's next film is The Prestige, opening in October.
