'Surrogates' Technology is Close to Reality

Rob Venditti's sci-fi graphic novel "Surrogates" makes its transition into theaters as a Jonathan Mostow film starring Bruce Willis on this year. The technology to make Venditti's story a reality, however, might already be percolating around the world, according to a new documentary featurette.

Posted on Wired.com, "The Science-Fact Behind 'Surrogates" includes a few new cutscenes from the movie, as well as commentary from the director and robotics experts painting a picture of how close humans are to controlling lifelike versions of themselves from safe, remote locations.



The countdown to realizing a world populated by lifelike robo-surrogates may be ticking, if the sources in the mini-documentary are accurate. And by the estimations that countdown will be short.

"Surrogates" hits theaters September 25.
