STUDIO SYNOPSIS

People are living their lives remotely from the safety of their own homes via robotic surrogates—sexy, physically perfect mechanical representations of themselves. It’s an ideal world where crime, pain, fear and consequences don’t exist. When the first murder in years jolts this utopia, FBI agent Greer (BRUCE WILLIS) discovers a vast conspiracy behind the surrogate phenomenon and must abandon his own surrogate, risking his life to unravel the mystery.

Touchstone Pictures presents “SURROGATES,” a gripping action thriller directed by Jonathan Mostow (“Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,” “Breakdown”) which also stars RADHA MITCHELL, ROSAMUND PIKE, BORIS KODJOE, JAMES FRANCIS GINTY, MICHAEL CUDLITZ, JAMES CROMWELL and VING RHAMES.

“SURROGATES” is produced by Mandeville Film’s David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman (“The Proposal,” “Traitor,” “Wild Hogs”) along with Brownstone Productions’ Max Handelman. Executive producers are David Nicksay (“Legally Blonde,” “The Negotiator,” “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves”) and Brownstone Productions’ Elizabeth Banks (acting credits: “Zack and Miri Make a Porno,” “W.,” “The 40-Year-Old Virgin”). The screenplay is by John Brancato & Michael Ferris (“Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,” “The Game”), based on the popular and inventive Top Shelf Comix graphic novel by Robert Venditti and Brett Weldele.

The creative team includes production designer Jeff Mann (“Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,” “Transformers,” “Gone in Sixty Seconds”), Emmy Award®-winning costume designer April Ferry (“Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,” “U571,” HBO’s “Rome”), veteran cinematographer Oliver Wood (“The Bourne” trilogy, “Fantastic Four,” “U-571”), seasoned film editor Kevin Stitt (“The Kingdom,” “Cloverfield,” “Breakdown”) and Oscar®-winning visual effects supervisor Mark Stetson (“Superman Returns,” “2010,” “Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring”). The behind-the-scenes team includes three additional Academy Award® winners—makeup artist Howard Berger (“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” “Transformers,” “Grind House”), makeup artist Jeff Dawn (“Terminator 2: Judgment Day,” “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,” “Batman & Robin”) and sound designer Jon Johnson (“U-571,” “Breakdown”).

“SURROGATES” was filmed on location in Massachusetts, primarily in Boston and surrounding suburbs.
