Can’t wait for “Torchwood” Season 4 aka “Miracle Day” to premiere July 8 on the Starz Channel? From the sounds of it, neither can John Barrowman, aka Captain Jack, who sounds very enthused about the upcoming season while talking to Deadline. He gushes:
“There is so much more we can do with Torchwood now having made the leap to America. It’s going to be even bigger and better,” said original Torchwood star and Glaswegian-born Barrowman, aka Captain Jack Harkness. “And,” he added with a chuckle, “for me on a personal level the move to America has been fucking amazing.” The budgets are bigger, the stunts are more dangerous and the sexual chemistry is more explosive, he said, pointing to the opening scene in Season 4, which involves a helicopter. “If we were in Wales shooting, we might not have had that, or we would have had to re-write the sequence.” Overall, “the audience is going to need a forklift truck to pick their jaws off the ground. The stunt work is unbelievable. I used to do quite a lot of stunts except if it was jumping off of buildings but now I’m not allowed to because of the insurance policy. I’m much more valuable in America!”
Bigger budgets? Bigger stunts? More sexual chemistry? I can dig it.
Here’s the “Miracle Day” teaser trailer in case you missed it:
