Trailer Watch: Surrogates trailer
The first trailer for Jonathan Mostow’s Surrogates is up thanks to MySpace, and it looks pretty good!
In the film, Bruce Willis and Pitch Black’s Radha Mitchell star as FBI agents investigating “the mysterious murder of a college student linked to the man who helped create a high-tech surrogate phenomenon that allows people to purchase unflawed robotic versions of themselves—fit, good looking remotely controlled machines that ultimately assume their life roles—enabling people to experience life vicariously from the comfort and safety of their own homes”—or, basically internet avatars for your real life.
As premises go, it’s a little out there (and the fact that it’s the first murder in 15 years is more than a little ludicrous), but since the movie doesn’t seem to be taking itself that seriously, I can get over it.
Surrogates is based on the comic book by Robert Venditti and Brett Weldele. The film comes out on September 25, 2009.

I see bits and pieces of the graphic novel in there. I hope this isn’t another “Wanted” or “The Spirit” in regards to deviating from the source material.
