One of the coolest things in the original Prisoner series was Rover, the white ball that suffocated would-be escapees. And it looks like Rover's back in the new AMC remake, judging from posters. Update: There's a nine-minute video preview, too.

It's going to be weird seeing Rover in the middle of the desert — it doesn't feel quite as intuitive. But at least it looks like they kept the same basic design and classic milky evilness. Glad to see the new show isn't throwing all of Patrick McGoohan's style points out the window.

Update: Thanks to PVIII for pointing it out: There's also a nine minute preview video of the new series!
