new Surrogates trailer
A couple of weeks ago I posted information about Top Shelf’s promotion of Surrogates, a title being adapted into a film starring Bruce Willis. Also in that post was a featurette for the movie. Today Myspace released a new trailer.

The Surrogates preview + more
Last week I got the Top Shelf newsletter with some Surrogates information related to sales of the comics and promo material to support the forthcoming film. If you aren’t familiar with the title, I’d first say that I wouldn’t confuse the source material for Surrogates with another of these movie-options-a-day comics you see pop up (some of which aren’t even published yet). It’s actually a very solid comic and you can picture somebody reading it and thinking that it has merit. Yesterday, a preview/featurette was released for the film (starring Bruce Willis) via standard movie media (not Top Shelf) so I figured it’s a pretty good time to collect them all now here.
Watch them after the break . . .
