BURBANK, California, November 20, 2009 – Action superstar Bruce Willis (the "Die Hard" franchise) headlines another spectacular thrill ride in the gripping film "Surrogates," coming to Blu-ray and DVD on January
26, 2010 from Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment.

Directed by Jonathan Mostow ("Terminator Three:
Rise of the Machines," "U-571"), "Surrogates" is a heart-pounding futuristic tale of splintered identity, treachery and murder. Both DVD and Blu-ray editions come with an array of bonus features that not only invite viewers to delve deep into the darkly imaginative world of Surrogates, but describe how this futuristic idea is not such a far-off reality.

Based on the enormously popular graphic novel created by Robert Venditti and Brett Weldele, "Surrogates"
also stars Radha Mitchell ("Silent Hill"), Ving Rhames ("Mission Impossible"), James Cromwell ("Spider-man 3") and Rosamund Pike ("An Education").

Synopsis
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.

• Commentary with director Jonathan Mostow
