(See all the clips and images in the "Surrogates" group on MovieJungle.com and keep up to date with more releases from Touchstone and Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures).
PLOT:
People are living their lives remotely from the safety of their own homes via robotic surrogates—sexy, physically perfect mechanical representations of themselves. It’s an ideal world where crime, pain, fear and consequences don’t exist. When the first murder in years jolts this utopia, FBI agent Greer (BRUCE WILLIS) discovers a vast conspiracy behind the surrogate phenomenon and must abandon his own surrogate, risking his life to unravel the mystery.
A gripping action thriller directed by Jonathan Mostow (“Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,“ “Breakdown”), SURROGATES also stars RADHA MITCHELL, ROSAMUND PIKE, JAMES CROMWELL and VING RHAMES.
Notes:
• First-time author Robert Venditti came up with the unique premise while working at Top Shelf Publications in Atlanta. The publisher is known for issuing sophisticated, contemporary graphic novels and comics by artists of singular vision.
• Jonathan Mostow previously directed the hit films “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines,” “Breakdown” and “U-571.”
• Producers David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman from Mandeville Films are the team behind “The Proposal,” “Traitor,” “Wild Hogs,” “Bringing Down the House” and “Beverly Hills Chihuahua.”

To mark the release of Lionsgate's comedy "New in Town," we've thrown together a list of actors and actresses we remember best as new folks in town
Renee Zellweger in New In Town
Ambition can kick you in the butt when you least expect it. Such is a tale about Lucy Hill, an ambitious Miami-based executive who's used to all the spoils of modern-day-life. When the company needs to reorganize, she proudly says I can do it to a job in Minnesota and winds up biting off more than she can chew with the bone-chilling cold.
Still, after being introduced to Ted Mitchell (Harry Connick Jr.), an unexpected romancemay just blossom if she can just survive long enough.
Michael J. Fox Doc Hollywood
En route to LA to take up a great position as a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, Dr. Ben Stone (Fox) winds up crashing through a fence in the small town of Grady and doing community service whilst the cars being fixed. Small towns have a way of bringing out the best in you and so does a sexy looking doctor called Lou (Julie Warner). In time, the Doc ends up falling in love with his new way of life and the towns warm inhabitants.
Still fun to watch today as are most of Foxs classics.
Ralph Macchio in The Karate Kid
We had to get this one in here as its one of the most memorable new-in-towners around. Macchio starred as Daniel Larusso, a kid who moves to California from New Jersey. Hes in for more than he bargained for when he falls for the Ali (Elisabeth shue), former love of the schools bad boy karate buff Johnny (William Zabka). After getting the life beaten out of him, he takes karate lessons from Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita), a teacher with methods he at first doesnt understand. Following a training regime including waxing floors, painting fences and attacking waves, he enters a tournament and gets his chance at some payback.
Should be interesting to see the new adaptation starring Will Smiths son Jaden, but this should never be remade. Another shifty decision by Sony?
Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise in Far and Away
Nicole Kidman is Shannon, a spoiled brat from a wealthy Irish Kristie family who dreams of something more. Joseph Donnelly (Tom Cruise) is out for payback after the Christies tax hungry henchman Stephen Chase (Thomas Gibson) burns down the family home. When Josephs assassination of attempt on Shannons father Daniel (Robert Prosky) goes bad when his rusty rifle backfires, hes left with facing off against Chase in a pistol match. Shannon rides in and snatches away Joseph as her servant boy and whisks him off to America. Here, the duo find themselves in the roughest of neighborhoods, literally fighting for their lives and falling in love. A wonderful journey.
Kevin Bacon in Footloose
Probably the ultimate new kid in town film. Beloved by teens of the eighties, Footloose is a story of Ren McCormach (Bacon), a city kid in a small town where the pure love of rock music and expression in dance are a forbidden fruit and cursed by Reverend Shaw Moore (John Lithgow).
Ren sparks a romance with Moores troubled daughter Ariel (Lori Singer) and an upcoming prom brings out the core of the story with the youngster lifting the sleepy town back on its feet.
