The remake was announced prior to the death of McGoohan, so we spin this in saying McGoohan had the opportunity to die happy knowing his idea would reach a new generation. And the main difference will be rather than Cold war politics, were looking at 21century politics... I translate that to terrorism.

To Quote
-----------
The original series, co-created by Patrick McGoohan, was influenced by Cold War politics. The new version, produced by Trevor Hopkins ("Dracula"), reflects 21st Century issues, such as liberty, security and surveillance, while keeping the original's paranoid, tense tone.
