Fox Developing An
American TORCHWOOD??


I am – Hercules!!

“Queer Like Folk” creator Russell Davies, who retired from running the BBC’s “Doctor Who” so he could move to Los Angeles and break into American show business, is developing for Fox an American version of his BBC “Who” spin-off “Torchwood.”

“Torchwood” follows covert investigators charged with keeping an eye on troublesome extraterrestrials.

If the American version goes to series, John Barrowman may reprise his role as Capt. Jack Harkness.

Find all of The Hollywood Reporter’s story on the matter here.
