Willis signs on to Surrogates
Actor Bruce Willis has signed a deal to star in THE SURROGATES, a science-fiction film directed by Jonathan Mostow and scripted by Michael Ferris and John Brancato, based on a graphic novel. Filming in Boston is set to begin in February.
Story is set in the near future, where humans live in isolation and interact vicariously through surrogate robots who are better-looking versions of themselves. Willis plays a cop who, through his surrogate, investigates the murders of others’ surrogates. The cop is forced to venture from his own home for the first time in years and unravels a conspiracy.
Mostow, Ferris, and Brancato previously worked together on TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES. Ferris and Brancato also scripted the follow-up, TERMINATOR SALVATION: THE FUTURE BEGINS, which recently landed McG as director.
