Set in a futuristic world where humans live in isolation and interact through surrogate robots, a cop (Willis) is forced to leave his home for the first time in years in order to investigate the murders of others’ surrogates

The Surrogates is a live action adaptation of Robert Venditti and Brett Weldele's very popular graphic novel published by Top Shelf Productions.
The footage we saw was not completed and some of the special effects weren't entirely done but boy, oh boy, this movie looks great!
The basic synopsis is as follows: Set in a futuristic world where humans live in isolation and interact through surrogate robots (remote-controlled artificial bodies), a cop (Willis) is forced to leave his home for the first time in years in order to investigate the murders of others’ surrogates.
The Surrogates world that Jonathan Mostow brings to life is very relatable and appears to be maybe just a few decades away. The graphic novel takes place in 2054 but I am not sure if the movie does the same.
There are regular cars on the road but you still get some of that Minority Report-like tech throughout the city.
Bruce Willis as Agent Greer, in comparison to his "surrogate" is pretty amazing. His robot self easily looks 20 years + younger than his real self. Agent Greer is a bit overweight, balding and scruffy looking. His surrogate has a full head of hair, thin and good looking.
From the footage shown, we learned that the majority of population has a surrogate robot of him/herself. Each person connects to a Matrix- like computer system that controls your surrogate self to do all of your daily chores, errands and everyday activities including partying and having sex.
I know, whats the point, right? Well it appears that there is group of people who are not too thrilled with the robotic lifestyle and starts hacking into and killing the robots/surrogates. The problem is, if you kill the robot, the person could also potentially die.
Agent Greer is sent to investigate via his robotic twin. We realize that the surrogates have superhuman power and can take quite a beating but they are not indestructible. When he gets close to finding out who is responsible his robot is destroyed.
The real Agent Greer narrowly escapes with his own life along with some minor injuries. He is now forced to investigate the old fashion way. He has to leave his apartment and do it in the real world.
The footage shown was full of explosions, chases and suspense. I'm sold.
