Last month, we told you Jeff Bridges was starring with Ryan Reynolds in director Robert Schwentke's adaptation of the Dark Horse comic series R.I.P.D. and filming would begin this September in Boston. Well, Universal has just announced a release date and it's June 28, 2013.  As of today, no other movie has claimed the date, but with it being so close to July 4th holiday, it wouldn't surprise me if another big movie announces the same date.If you haven't read the comics, they're about a group of dead lawmen in the âRest in Peace Departmentâ who try to keep other dead folks in line. Bridges will play Roy Powell, whom producer Neal Moritz described as âa gunslinger whoâs been dead for hundreds of years.â Reynolds will play Powellâs partner, Nick Cruz, a recently murdered cop whoâs out for revenge. Powell was originally set to be played by Zach Galifianakis, but he dropped out.
R.I.P.D. Release Date is June 28, 2013
Universal has set a June 28, 2013 release date for R.I.P.D. which will star Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds. Robert Schwentke is directing.
