Crucified Surrogate

Though we’ve been following it since it was first announced, I’ve always been slightly dubious as to whether or not SURROGATES fits into the Arrow in the Head landscape.

Here’s the film’s premise: Set in a futuristic world where humans live in isolation and interact through surrogate robots, a cop (Bruce Willis) is forced to leave his home for the first time in years in order to investigate the murders of others’ surrogates.

The flick – based on Robert Venditti’s graphic novel – is being directed by Jonathan Mostow (TERMINATOR 3) and stars Willis, Ving Rhames, Radha Mitchell, and Rosamund Pike (below). You’ll be waiting until November of next year to get a look at it, though.
