The Surrogates

I've read the first 2 issues and think its a pretty good so far. Although, I did kind of screw up the experience by reading The Surrogates screenplay (with Bruce Fucking WILLIS) first. I will try and read the rest tonight and express my thoughts.

I think the movie will be pretty awesome. I've heard it's packing a bit of heat because a lot of people (being people) accuse it of stealing from some other dude. Can't remember who. Anyone heard about this?

Yea you're right, but you know what non-writers can be like. They don't understand that there's nothing that hasn't been done before, so it's easy for them to judge and call something a ripoff just because perhaps the setting or basic premise is the same. Jeez, how many movies deal with assassins, detectives, vampires, zombies, superpowers, government companies hunting people with powers!

It's really funny when people accuse a movie of ripping off another movie, even though it came out before it!

Heroes, X-Men and Push is a recent example. Heroes fans really need to get it in their thick skulls that X-Men came out before Heroes, and that Heroes has become crap anyway lol.

I'm guessing that someone else used the same premise that humans can control robots, or something.

Well, I saw the preview for The Surrogates, and I admit, I haven't yet read the comic, but the movie looks really good, and they somehow made Bruce Willis look like he did when he made the original Die Hard... talk about excellent SFX and makeup. Anyway, I'll definitely be seeing that movie.

I'll be waiting on the DVD.

I've been burnt too many times - Faust, Elektra, Catwoman, Zoom, Spider-Man 3, Judge Dredd... Maybe this one will be better than most, but I can't help thinking that Sin City, Hellboy 2 and 30 Days Of Night were the pinnacle of the current crop of adaptations.
