Torchwood America ?

Torchwood America ? Torchwood America ?

According to The Hollywood reporter an American version of Torchwood is being developed.

Torchwood Exclusive: Huge news for sci-fi fans: Fox is developing a stateside version of the U.K. hit series “Torchwood.”

A more straight-faced spinoff of “Doctor Who,” “Torchwood” is about a covert group that investigates and fights alien activity. Two series aired domestically on BBC America as well as last year’s well reviewed stand-alone miniseries, “Children of Earth,” which broke all ratings records for the network.

Unlike U.S. adaptations that have gone awry, “Torchwood” fans can take comfort that the original producing team is on board. In addition to Davies, exec producers include Davies’ producing partner Julie Gardner (former head of drama at BBC Wales for the show’s first season) and Jane Tranter (another BBC vet, now exec VP programming and production at BBC Worldwide Prods. in the U.S.).

Also, some of the current cast — most likely John Barrowman, who plays the immortal Capt. Jack Harkness — might star if Fox orders “Torchwood” to pilot.

    What Next :
    Fox transporting the whole of Wales to America.
    I thought the whole point of Torchwood was that it was set in Cardiff Wales UK. Not Cardiff America.
    Russell Dont Spoil This For Us.

    i actually hope Jack is’nrt in this series. but if he is it should just be a one episode thing

    I though the whole idea of Touchwood was that it was set up by the Monarchy to defend the UK.

    Fox’s track record at reinventing TV shows isn’t that great, hope RTD knows what he is doing.

    Will reserve judgement on this until there is more info. Fox hasn’t been great in the past at this sort of thing.

    This could be a complete departure i suppose and not feature any on the original cast.

    we need a press release…

    should be Ok with RTD writing and may be big budget, Not sure what that bit About Doctor Who means though

    I really don’t know what to make of that article, i assume this will be instead of any Torchwood made here?

    And whats that about a reboot of doctor Who in the USA, surely not there own version
