Hi, That’s not a poster for the movie. It’s from the comic book series. There were fake ads in the comic for the company Virtual Self.Number one clue is that isn’t the logo Disney is using for the company. See the site. http://chooseyoursurrogate.com

I was looking around for this poster on other sites and came up empty. I was especially looking for it in terms of the comics, but still nothing. So, I can’t verify it either way.
the more I look at it, the more fan made it looks.here is the logo they are using (from the novel)http://www.topshelfcomix.com/popup.php?image=/catalog/covers/the_surrogates_vols_12_spec_hardcover_lg.jpg&title=The+Surrogates+Special+Hardcover+(Vols+1+%26+2+Combined)The logo and the text on the poster is far from clean
Sure. Like I said, I couldn’t find the poster anywhere except the movieblog.ugo.com site where we originally found it.
