Disney showed the first trailer for the movie, which starts by introducing the concept of surrogates as we see a robotic face (think Westworld) having a synthetic face applied onto it and the "informercial" advertises how the surrogates allow you to "see what they see, feel what they feel and become anyone you want to." Essentially, it's like a virtual world ala Second Life but the surrogates are allowing you to sit in the comfort of your own home and interact with others, or rather their surrogates, in the real world. It's an interesting concept like something Philip K. Dick might come up with and sure enough, the trailer makes the movie look like a cross between Blade Runner, Total Recall and Minority Report with lots of the type of action we've seen Mostow handle so well in "Terminator 3."

This "perfect world" has been infiltrated by someone who is destroying surrogates and killing the people controlling them through their interface. We first see Bruce Willis' detective character, as his surrogate is jumping from building to building before we see it get slammed into full-on by a truck, and we later see his surrogate strung up like an effigy, presumably by the same killer he's hunting. With Bruce Willis' surrogate destroyed, he's forced to go out into the world of these perfect and unstoppable beings as himself trying to solve the murders. We see a little bit of Radha Mitchell as his partner and even less of Rosamund Pike, who plays Willis' wife in the movie, but quite a bit of action and the surrogates being exposed as robots (Done very much in a similar way as Westworld.) The trailer ends with a striking scene of hundreds of surrogates collapsing and the camera pans back to show that everything in the city has come to a full stop without surrogates being operational. It actually wasn't a bad introductory teaser-trailer for the movie, which makes the movie look like a good September sci-fi action thriller option, similar to Eagle Eye last year.
