Rhames, Mitchell and Pike Join 'The Surrogates'
Disney's sci-fi thriller is stacking up
Ving Rhams, Radha Mitchell and Rosamund Pike are joining Bruce Willis in the sci-fi thriller The Surrogates for Disney and director Jonathan Mostow.
The film is currently slated for a November '09 release and is based on the Top Shelf Comix graphic novel 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, through his surrogate, investigates the murders of others’ surrogates. The cop is forced to venture from his own home for the first time in years and unravels a conspiracy.
Rhames plays a charismatic cult figure who disdains the use of surrogates and tries to lead an uprising against the "new world order." Mitchell plays the professional partner of Willis' character and Pike plays his wife. Ned Vaughn has also joined the cast.
Michael Ferris and John Brancato who penned Mostow's Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines adapted novelist Robert Venditti's work (illustrations by Brett Weldele).
Production is set to begin in late April on the film, which will be released through Touchstone.
