‘Surrogates’ To Remain True To The Book
Bruce Willis is Agent Greer in 'Surrogates'
Jonathan Mostow’s (Hancock / Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines) new sci-fi action thriller Surrogates is based on the Top Shelf Comix graphic novel by Robert Venditti. In a recent interview with Sci Fi Wire, Venditti has confirmed the film adaptation will remain true to the key themes in his book.
“The core concept of technology isolating us from each other and the outside world is something that a lot of people can relate to,” he said. “I’m happy to say the key elements of the book—the impact of surrogate technology on the world and the effect it’s had on the relationship between Detective Greer and his wife—have all been expertly retained for the film.”
Surrogates tells the story of a futuristic world where humans live in isolation and only interact in the real world using robot versions of themselves known as ‘Surrogates’. It follows FBI agents Greer (Bruce Willis) and Peters (Radha Mitchell) who are forced to interact with the real world in person as they investigate a string of surrogate murders.
“I was a consultant on the screenplay,” Venditti adds. “But I mostly stayed out of it and let them do what they felt was best. They’re all seasoned professionals, and everyone has an honest appreciation for the graphic novel, so I was completely confident they would do the story justice.”
Surrogates hits theaters:
