Surrogates (US - DVD R1 | BD RA)
Disney Home Entertainment reveals details on the DVD and Blu-ray releases
Title: Surrogates (IMDb)
Starring: Bruce Willis
Released: 26th January 2009
SRP: $29.99 (DVD)
Further Details:
Disney Home Entertainment has announced DVD ($29.99) and Blu-ray ($39.99) releases of Surrogates which stars Bruce Willis and Radha Mitchell. Each will be available to own from the 26th January. The only extra material on the DVD release will be a commentary with director Jonathan Mostow, and a “I Will Not Bow” Music Video by Breaking Benjamin. The Blu-ray release will include that, along with 2 featurettes ("A More Perfect You: The Science of Surrogates", "Breaking the Frame: A Graphic Novel Comes to Life"), and 4 deleted scenes. We've attached our first look at the official package artwork below:
Quote: FBI agent Tom Greer (Bruce Willis) lives in a world where robotic surrogates stand in for people, protecting them from violence, contagion—and the appearance of aging. These picture perfect, real-life avatars—fit, good-looking, remotely controlled machines that assume their operator’s life role—enable the population to experience life vicariously from the comfort and safety of their own homes. Greer and his partner, Agent Peters (Radha Mitchell), are called in to probe the mysterious death of a college student, whose life ended when his surrogate was destroyed. When Greer’s surrogate is damaged in the investigation, he ventures out of his apartment for the first time in decades. In a world of masks, Greer must decide who is real and who can be trusted.

This looked terrible. Pass!
this was one of the worst films i saw this year
Whether or not it a good movie aside, that yellow cover looks hideous! Why didn't they stick to the blue on the original poster?!
Better known as "The Death Kneel For Bruce Willis' Movie Career"....This probably should have just went straight to video, like that Hardwired c**p Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Val Kilmer did....
More like a TV pilot than an actual movie.
I went in the film with high expectations and was greatly disappointed. There was no action to be a violent action romp, not enough sensuality to be a sexy thriller, and not intriguing enough to be a psychologically disturbing film. Surrogates was an uneven and uninteresting film. The only redeeming quality was the cinematography. The acting was probably the main issue with this movie. I'm going to rent it, just to see if I still dislike it. This time I'll go in with low expectations. Just not the film I was expecting.
Wow, the trailer and the premise looked pretty good, but after reading the comments above I'll rent it (was thinking about blind buying)...
Terrible movie.
Terrible, just terrible.
26th January 2009? Typo.

I missed this in theaters, but any movie with Bruce Willis in it is a good one (except for *cough* "Hudson Hawk" *cough*). Terrible or not, I might blind buy the Blu-ray of "Surrogates" on day one.

You and MiseryMatt are exaggerating. It wasn't good, but it wasn't TERRIBLE. I know who killed me, Disaster movie, Space chimps. Now THOSE are TERRIBLE. And the 26 January 2009 isn't a typo. While I don't live in the UK, I happen to know the UK start with the date first, the month second, and the year last.

Never ended up seeing this in theaters. Might rent it.

Errr... Sure, they list the dates in different order than in the States, but... 2009? It's the UK one year behind in the calendar? Somehow I think it IS a typo... ;-D

I'm a Bruce Willis fan. I'll probably pic this up. I've seen worse movies then this.
it was okay, not great. might get the blu-ray when its £6.99 come summer 2010.
So, they're even sticking with a horrendous YELLOW cover on something called BLU-Ray??? Sure, that makes perfect sense.

Lol so.... the fact that this makes the UK roughly a year behind the rest of the world doesn't make this a typo? Haha ok.... ok ...... I don't think he thought the typo had anything to do with the order in which it was given us. lol wow.

Oops, sorry. I didn't catch the 2009 part. What I meant was the order of the month and date were switched around, as opposed to the US that write it like this: January 26, 2010. When the UK write it like this: 26 January 2010. Although, I didn't notice the year was wrong, lol. The UK aren't a year behind us, lol.
