While it's one of the more under-the-radar comic book adaptations headed our way this year, "Surrogates" is certainly worth keeping an eye on -- especially if director Jonathan Mostow is able to effectively translate the great source material for the film.
A science-fiction mystery set in a future world where people stay at home all day and send out robotic versions of themselves ("the "surrogates" of the title) to do just about everything, the adaptation of Rob Venditti and Brett Weldele's graphic novel stars Bruce Willis as a detective tasked with investigating the bizarre serial killings of these synthetic stand-ins. Disney has been extremely coy about the marketing for the film, with viral websites and publicity events providing the lion's share of promotion, and now we have a new poster that popped up on ScreenRant that continues that trend.
Instead of showing the stars of the film, the poster focuses on the surrogates and the fictional company and culture that's made them so popular. Check it out after the jump.
Previously, we gave you and 11-page preview of "Surrogates: Flesh and Blood," the upcoming prequel story to "The Surrogates," and got our first peek at Bruce Willis on the set of the film. We also got a few words from the film's well-known producer, Elizabeth Banks, and whether we'll see "Flesh and Blood" on the big screen, too.
"Surrogates" is scheduled to hit theaters September 25, 2009.
What do you think about the new poster? Looking forward to "Surrogates"?
