IGN has posted a new trailer for Surrogates, a new Bruce Willis sci-fi movie.

In the film, which is based on Robert Venditti'si graphic novel, FBI agents (Willis and Radha Mitchell) investigate the mysterious murder of a college student linked to the man who helped create a high-tech surrogate phenomenon that allows people to purchase unflawed robotic versions of themselves.

Surrogates is slated for release on Sept. 25.

Wow, that actually looks pretty good.

A bit late to the game, but the trailer does look pretty good! I've always been interested in the whole technology sci-fi thriller - so fitting nowadays too. Did some more research on the film and came across the film's official site ChooseYourSurrogate.com

Pretty cool stuff on there, mainly that you can explore Virtual Industries (company that creates surrogates, I believe) and create a surrogate of yourself....

I saw the trailer the other night (not sure if its the same one as above, i cant remember lol), before Transformers 2. It just didn't spark enough interest in me.

I've only seen one trailer so it's probably the same....what about it didn't interest you?

I heard the graphic novel by Robert Venditti has a pretty cult following, apparently the story's pretty creepy but very good - might check it out before I see the movie. I found a review of someone who caught a really early screener (the film wasn't completely finished yet) and gave it a B+ - special effects and story were solid.

I don't know, it just didn't really stand out and seems very generic sci-fi. That doesnt mean that it wont be good, its just a more of a wait and catch later on DVD.

Fair enough. That's kinda why I wanna read the graphic novel - to see what it's all about. Someone told me that the concept does sound pretty done-to-death, but the actual story is really different and interesting and I had to read it to really understand it. Hopefully I'll get around to it this summer!

Wow, that actually looks pretty good.

But would you do that for yourself ??

I saw the trailer before Transformers and was wholly underwhelmed- another SciFi movie about some technology which everyone uses for some reason even though if it were real no one would actually use it because it's stupid.

What? Have a surrogate.? Probably not.

What? Have a surrogate.? Probably not.

Did you all ever check out the movie's website where you can kinda create your own surrogate? It's kinda trippy!

If this wasn't already based on something else I would have said it was the most original thing to happen to the scifi genre in 10 years. Hollywood is in a sad state of affairs. In any case the film looks pretty good based on the trailer.

I agree. Hopefully the trailer is indicative of the movie itself.

Looks like it might be alright.
