The Hollywood Reporter, www.thrfeed.com, has news that Fox TV is developing a US version of Torchwood. Members of the UK production team are on board for the project, including the creator of the original series, Russell Davies.
It seems to me that Torchwood really hinges upon John Barrowman. I can envision a US branch of the Torchwood organization being the center of a new series. Perhaps not so much a remake, as a spinoff? I guess we will have to wait and see.
I read one of the comments on a blog about this and the person was basically saying "Why can't the Americans just watch the real version of the show - why do they need an American remake." I have to confess here that there are times when I am watching Torchwood that I can't make out the Brit slang and Welsh accents. And I am pretty well educated in British TV, so if I have trouble the rest of America are really having trouble.
Yeah, Americans are America-centric. Its one of our biggest flaws as a nation. But really, is it so harmful? Let us go back to watching "The Office" and worrying about whether the celery sticks with our wings count as an all natural fat burner. Don't Judge Us!!! LOL!
