A Robot Spartacus, Crucified In A Bleak Future

A grim warning to all robots looms over a pile of dirt and rubble on the set of The Surrogates, now filming in Hopedale, Massachusetts. In The Surrogates, based on a graphic novel, every human has a robot copy so they never have to leave the home. Willis plays a cop that has to go outside for the first time in years to investigate a rash of surrogate robot murders. Perhaps the last picture of Willis with his terrible rug was his idealistic perception of his robot self? Click through for more on set pics. More »

First Look At Bruce Willis' Robo-Wig

Is that Bruce Willis or his robot replacement on the set of the futuristic science fiction flick The Surrogates ? It should be impossible to tell according to the original graphic novel. In The Surrogates' future, all humans have robot replacements that they send out to do their bidding, while the real people stay at home. Bruce Willis plays a cop who is forced to leave his home after years of being a shut-in (which explains the 90s highlights) to investigate a rash of robot murders. Pictured to the right of Willis is actress Anya Monzikova who plays a sexy lady robot. Io9 recently revealed exclusive pictures of these robot servants sans their skin, and they look sort of like a shiny peeled human. [Metro]

What's The Fastest SciFi Super-Car?

Flying cars are dime-a-dozen in science fiction. But they don't all look as cool as Harrison Ford's cop car does in Sid Mead's original concept art. And some of them have cool extras, like voice-controlled color or a built-in ATM . But what you really want to know is, what's the fastest super-car in scifi? We rank them by speed (with a gallery) below. More »

Willis To Become Surrogate

In a victory for agents ability to play to their clients' egos, Bruce Willis has signed on to a futuristic drama where humans interact with each other only through better looking robotic versions of themselves. In a surprising move, Willis will be playing one of the less attractive humans. More »

Must See: The Fifth Element

Must-see movies are futuristic classics that shouldn't be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That's why we've rated them 1-5 on the patented "crunchy goodness" scale.

Title: The Fifth Element
Date: 1997

Vitals: A babe from another dimension teaches a hypercapitalist, urbanized world that love is the answer to all their problems - especially if love is wearing nothing more than bandages on her tits. Also, there are a bunch of flying car chase scenes.
