The Surrogates Hits Seaport Area

While out around Boston today, we came across the filming of the Surrogates, the sci-fi film starring Bruce Willis. It looks like the crew is setting up shop in a building on Necco Street in the Seaport District.

The filmmakers kept shooting two cars driving down Necco street; one vintage and one new. We did not have any Willis sightings but the cars were pretty darn cool. Both were rented special for the shoot.

Bruce Willis' The Surrogates Coming to Boston

Bruce Willis will be heading to Boston to begin shooting The Surrogates in February of 2008 according to Variety. The Disney a sci-fi thriller story is set in the near future where humans interact with one another through surrogate robots. Willis is set to play a cop who tracks down a murderer.

This is not Willis' first time in Beantown filming. He actually made a camero as a courtroom extra in a Paul Newman legal drama back in the early 80s. If you guessed The Verdict, you would be correct. The next time you see The Verdict on A&E, watch for Willis in the background of the courtroom scenes.He had hair back then.
