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.
