Radha Mitchell (Silent Hill) will star opposite Bruce Willis in director Jonathan Mostow's upcoming sci-fi action-thriller Surrogates, ComingSoon.net has learned.

The Touchstone Pictures project is based on a graphic novel from Top Shelf Comix. The 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.

Shooting will begin in the Boston area on April 28 for a planned release on November 20, 2009.

Never heard of the graphic novel, but it sounds like a cool concept. Kind of scary how close the world is to that reality with "games" like Second Life out there though.

Never heard of the graphic novel, but I LOVE this concept.

I hope this is more THE SIXTH SENSE and/or UNBREAKABLE Bruce Willis than the HOSTAGE and/or 13 BLOCKS Bruce Willis.

This is the basic concept from another Asimov title, The Caves of Steel and The Naked Sun, which are must reads for any Science Fiction Buff. Read Them Immediately!

Simular premise to James Cameron's "Avatar", but on a smaller scale. Should be good, Willis plays a frustrated cop like nobody's business.

"Avatar" tells the story of an ex-Marine, thrust unwillingly into an effort to settle and exploit an exotic planet rich in bio-diversity, who eventually crosses over to lead the indigenous race in a battle for survival. Yeh seriously Scott learn to read. Anyways this movie should be good it sounds like pretty intereting concept hopefully it will be as good as the source material.

Venditti is an up and coming talent. I am looking forward to more from him, and this film should be a hit.

Willis plays a cop? Really original. And this sounds like a Blade Runner rip off.
