The high-concept thriller SURROGATES, which already has Bruce Willis and saucy-Aussie Radha Mitchell attached, just added two more fine thesps. Ving Rhames and Rosamund Pike (DOOM) will join the Jonathan Mostow-helmed flick, which begins shooting later this month. The script was written by Michael Ferris and John Brancato (T3).
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 is forced to leave his home for the first time in years in order to investigate the murders of others’ surrogates.
Sounds very OUTER LIMITSish, which I can dig. Rhames will play a a charismatic cult figure who disdains the use of surrogates and tries to lead an uprising against the “new world order.”
Pike will play Willis’ wifey (and frequent head-waxer).
