Remember director Jonathan Mostow? He was the man who gave us the excellent Breakdown, the historically-flawed-but-still-strong U-571, and then took on the poisoned chalice of the post-James Cameron Terminator franchise with Rise Of The Machines.

He's nowhere to be seen on the credits of Terminator: Salvation, but then he's been hard at work on something that looks just a little bit more interesting.

Surrogates, which is arriving in September, is based on the graphic novel of the same name, and stars Bruce Willis, who at one point is sporting a haircut so dodgy that it'd make Kevin Costner and Harrison Ford squirm.

The trailer for the film is available now, and it's looking really quite interesting. It also does a far better job of explaining the concept of the film than my measly words could, so it's probably best for all concerned to take a look at that, rather than listening to what I have to say....

The film is out in the UK and USA on 25th September.
