• The film is based on the comic books "Surrogates" by Top Shelf Productions (2005-2006).
• The majority of the film's scenes were shot in Boston, USA.
• Actor James Cromwell, who played the role of Dr. Canter, previously played the role of a robot creator – in the film “I, Robot” (2004) he played Dr. Alfred Lanning, the lead designer and theorist of U. S. Robotics.
• At the beginning of the film, a clip from a video is shown, demonstrating the testing of a Raytheon Sarcos exoskeleton.
• The telepresence technologies shown in the film were described as early as 1963 by Stanisław Lem in “Summa Technologiae” under the name of teletaxis (the principle was also explained in some of his science fiction works, for example, the use of teledoubles in “World on Earth”).
• Actor Trevor Donovan, who played the ‘young’ Agent Greer, also played the role of a ‘test’ surrogate in the store that Greer visited on Peters' advice after his official surrogate was destroyed.
