Los Angeles, CA, United States (CNS) – The futuristic thriller “Surrogates” starring Bruce Willis hit DVD and Blu-ray last week. Blockbuster announced that the Jonathan Mostow-directed film (“Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines”) was the #1 rental last week, beating out “Michael Jackson’s This Is It.”
“Surrogates” takes place in 2017 in a future where humans are never leaving the safety of their own homes. Instead, robotic “surrogates” are being remote controlled from home to live their lives for them, including working, socializing, and even intimacy. The surrogates are designed as even better-looking versions of themselves, and they’re free from feeling fear and pain.
In the film, Bruce Willis stars as FBI agent Greer, a cop who hasn’t left his home in years until the first murder takes place in their near-utopian world and his own surrogate is destroyed. Greer, enlisting the help of another agent (Radha Mitchell), has to investigate the murder of someone who helped create the surrogate technology.
The DVD and Blu-ray, in stores now, include a commentary with director Jonathan Mostow, and a Breaking Benjamin music video for “I Will Not Bow.” The Blu-ray exclusively includes “A More Perfect You: The Science of Surrogates” featurette, “Breaking the Frame: A Graphic Novel Comes to Life,” and deleted scenes.
“Surrogates” was Willis’ first foray into action thrillers since “Live Free or Die Hard.” He hits theaters again this month with the comedy, “Cop Out,” with Tracy Morgan and Seann William Scott.
