Surrogates: Interviews and iPhone App Dan Koelsch, September 19, 2009September 19, 2009 A few tidbits on Surrogates this weekend. First, Trailer Addict has several short interviews with the cast and crew, including the stars of the film Bruce Willis and Radha Mitchell. Willis, in as monotone a voice as possible, talks briefly about what interested him in doing the film and goes over the plot a bit. Mitchell talks about the graphic novel the film is based on and her character. Both talk about the concept of surrogacy and the message of the film.
