The Film
Surrogates is based on the Top Shelf graphic novel created by Robert Venditti and Brett Weldele. And for better or (mostly) worse, the film follows the general outline of the book’s plot pretty well. In the near future, people live their lives from the safety of their homes, instead plugging into surrogates, androids that look and act mostly like real people, and carry out the real tasks of life. While no damage should come to the pilots if their surrogates take damage, someone is finding a way to electrically blast the surrogates and kill the people behind them. (more…)
