The Hollywood Reporter said series creator Russell Davies is penning the screenplay for an Americanized pilot.
The original show's star John Barrowman, who plays the immortal Capt. Jack Harkness, may also star in the U.S. version if Fox orders "Torchwood" to pilot, the entertainment industry trade newspaper said.
