Universal is moving forward with R.I.P.D. and has set a release date for June 28, 2013. The movie will star Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges, and is based off of a comic series of the same name. Robert Schwentke (Red) is directing, with shooting expected to begin later this year.
“R.I.P.D. follows a murdered cop (Reynolds) who is recruited to work in the Rest in Peace Department, a police force comprised of ghosts who battle spirits unready to depart this world.? … Bridges will play Reynolds’ partner, a wise-cracking officer who’s been hunting spirits since the 1800s.”
