Bruce Willis will star in the sci-fi thriller The Surrogates, which is being directed by Jonathan Mostow (Terminator 3, U-571). He is available for the project following the announcement that production on Pinkville, in which Willis was set to star for director Oliver Stone, had been postponed due to the writers strike. (UA had to pull the plug because neither Stone nor screenwriter Mikko Alanne could hone the Pinkville script any further because they're both members of the striking Writers Guild of America.)

Surrogates is set in the near future, where humans live in isolation and interact vicariously through surrogate robots who are better-looking versions of themselves. Willis will play a cop who uses his surrogate to investigate the murders of others' surrogates until a conspiracy case forces him to venture from his own home for the first time in years.
