Radha Mitchell Talks ‘Surrogates’
By FavaBeans | September 17, 2009
Radha Mitchell (Pitch Black, Silent Hill), who stars in the upcoming CBM Surrogates, recently gave an interview. In the interview she’s gives us some insight of what she thinks the film is about and also what it’s like working with a big blockbuster heavyweight star, Bruce Willis.
When Mitchell was asked by Paul Fischer from Moviehole about the big budget film and co-star Bruce Willis, she replied, “I guess it meant the opportunity to work in a film with a budget of $100 million is always interesting,” Also, “to work with someone like Bruce Willis, who’s sort of known for his prowess in the action genre, which is also kind of exciting.”
“I thought the script itself is a very interesting conceit, the idea of, what is a surrogate reality and how does it sort of reflect on the society that we currently live in? What are the choices that we’re making? All of those sort of issues are sort of there, implanted in the script, and I think that’s what attracted me to it,”
If you’ve been following along with the recent Surrogates news, you’ll know that the actors get to play two versions of their character, one robot (Surrogate) and one human. “It’s great to be able to change your costume in one story, and have these two different identities, but what I guess the story really gets at is the abstraction of social interaction and I guess also the obsession with perfection,” Mitchell explained.
The movie touches on the fear of technology ruling the world and the creation of Artificial Intelligence. The Australian actress added, “I’m not phobic of technology. I think it can certainly deliver us, give us more time and shift our sense of identity in a positive way. I think what the story kind of directs our attention towards is that we are physical entities and as much as we are emotional entities, as much as we are intellectual entities, and we can’t lose that, because it’s kind of a basic human trait, that we need to engage in the physical world. That’s really essential to who we are.”
Surrogates will get a wide release next week on Friday September 25.
