The fourth season of Torchwood has just found its villain, as Bill Pullman signs up for The New World…
Now this is a bit of a casting coup. As Russell T Davies' upcoming season of Torchwood, The New World, prepares to start its 10-episode shoot next month, it's been revealed that a major part of the casting jigsaw has been filled.
It's been revealed that Bill Pullman, he of Independence Day fame (as well as many better movies, we might add), is set to star in the show as a killer, Oswald Jones, who escapes prison on some kind of technicality. Described as "genuinely repentant yet boiling with lust and rage", the character is set to be a pivotal part of The New World.
Joining Pullman in the cast in one of the lead roles is Mekhi Phifer. He's playing the CIA agent Rex Matheson in the show.
Torchwood: The New World arrives on our screens next summer. Looking forward to it, too...
