Jonathan Mostow ("Breakdown," "U-571," "Terminator 3") will direct, based
on the screenplay adaptation by Michael Ferris and John Brancato
("Terminator 3," "The Game"). The film will be produced by Mandeville
Films' David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman, Brownstone Productions' Max
Handelman and Elizabeth Banks, and Top Shelf Productions.

"'The Surrogates' is a mind-bending and brilliantly provocative piece of
fiction," says Mostow. "I am thrilled to be involved in bringing it to the
big screen."

In addition, Venditti is midway through scripting the second installment in
the graphic novel series, titled THE SURROGATES: FLESH AND BONE, with
Weldele returning as artist. The new graphic novel is slated for a 2009
release.
