Michael Jai White to Join Surrogates

One of the best parts of the new Bruce Willis sci-fi movie “The Surrogates” is waiting to see how they’ll do it. The movie has an excellent premise: in the future, people use more handsome versions of themselves, via robot counterparts, to interact with each other. Then someone goes and gets killed and Willis, a cop, has to investigate. A few days ago, Radha Mitchell joined the cast as the female lead, and now word is that former “Spawn” star Michael Jai White (pictured, left) is in negotiations to join the cast as well.

Michael Jai White, we’re told, is in talks to join the cast of the new sci-fi action thriller “The Surrogates”, starring Bruce Willis.

The “Spawn” and “Dark Knight” star previously worked with Willis on the dark comedy “Breakfast of Champions” (1998).

No word on which character White is up for, but it’s no doubt for a character that doesn’t mind getting a bit bruised and battered.

Jonathan Mostow, who is no stranger to sci-fi action flicks (he previously directed “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines”), will helm “Surrogates”.
