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 “Rest in Peace Department” who try to keep other dead folks in line. Bridges will play Roy Powell, whom producer Neal Moritz described as “a gunslinger who’s been dead for hundreds of years.” Reynolds will play Powell’s partner, Nick Cruz, a recently murdered cop who’s out for revenge. Powell was originally set to be played by Zach Galifianakis, but he dropped out.

Sweet! I was wondering when i’d see Ryan Reynolds in his next comic-book inspired masterpiece!
I love this concept for any story…I think it’s going to make a great movie and with these two actors for sure now.
i cant wait im hoping its as good or better than RED
was this comic book published before that tv show-you know whatsitsname, where the devil hires that guy on his 21st b-day to bring back escaped souls
Why Hollywood like to create movies from comics book, I hope the Hollywood doesn’t run out the idea to make new fresh movies.
the movie looks gud and awesome!!!!!!!!!
