'The Surrogates' filming outside of our office

The film crew for the Disney sci-fi thriller "The Surrogates" is shooting outside of our South Street office in the Leather District this week. The film, set in the near future where humans interact with one another through surrogate robots, stars Bruce Willis as a cop who tracks down murderers.

There's an interesting set that's located next to our office at 181 South Street. From the outside, it looks like a futuristic salon called "Artiface" where surrogates can get a makeover ... or better yet, a tune up (the shelves are stocked with beauty products and what looks like WD-40 style oil treatments).

From the street, "Artiface" appears to be a day spa for robots.

A crew of femmebots--including Moscow-bred hottie Anya Monzikova--stormed the "Artiface" set yesterday on South Street. From our office windows, we're able to see a slew of surrogate extras with bizarre metallic hats (turns out the metal foils are used for robot highlights).

UPDATE: Bruce Willis is on set, chatting on his cellphone on the corner of South Street, as of 4 p.m. Tuesday, July 15.
