“Surrogates” (2009) overview [ "Surrogates" official poster ]
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.

This is actually footage of Dr. Hiroshi Ishiguro of Osaka University, Japan, and his creation - Geminoid, a prototype android double of himself. The VSI building was depicted by using a digitally altered version of the Dallas Bank of America Plaza. A close up shot of Strickland's FBI file shows his place of birth as Lynn, Massachusetts. Lynn is also the real life birth place of actor Jack Noseworthy, the actor who plays Strickland in the film. When agents Greer and Peters first visit VSI, they walk past a group of video screens showing VSI commercials and other programming. In part of one screen is briefly seen a rotating model of a Terminator T-800 head from Jonathan Mostow's "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines."
