Surrogates author says that the movie will remain true to the comic~



Robert Venditti, who wrote the sci-fi graphic novel Surrogates, told SCI FI Wire that the upcoming film adaptation starring Bruce Willis will retain the book's key themes.~

"The core concept of technology isolating us from each other and the outside world is something that a lot of people can relate to," Venditti said in an exclusive interview. "I'm happy to say the key elements of the book—the impact of surrogate technology on the world and the effect it's had on the relationship between Detective Greer and his wife—have all been expertly retained for the film."~

Jonathan Mostow (Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines) is directing the movie, based on the novel by Venditti and artist Brett Weldele. Surrogates is set in a future in which most of humanity lives in isolation and interacts through humanoid robots—allowing their controllers to exist vicariously through a stronger, beautiful or younger synthetic being. When these androids become the target of a methodical terrorist, hard-nosed detective Harvey Greer (Willis) is called upon to uncover who is accountable for the attacks and why they want the surrogates gone.~
