The first trailer for R.I.P.D. just went up and it looks promising to say the least. The film stars Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges and is set for release this year.
Synopsis:
Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds headline the 3D supernatural action-adventure R.I.P.D. as two cops dispatched by the otherworldly Rest In Peace Department to protect and serve the living from an increasingly destructive array of souls who refuse to move peacefully to the other side.
Veteran sheriff Roy Pulsifer (Bridges) has spent his career with the legendary police force known as R.I.P.D. tracking monstrous spirits who are cleverly disguised as ordinary people. His mission? To arrest and bring to justice a special brand of criminals trying to escape final judgment by hiding among the unsuspecting on Earth.
Once the wise-cracking Roy is assigned former rising-star detective Nick Walker (Reynolds) as his junior officer, the new partners have to turn grudging respect into top-notch teamwork. When they uncover a plot that could end life as we know it, two of R.I.P.D.’s finest must miraculously restore the cosmic balance…or watch the tunnel to the afterlife begin sending angry souls the very wrong way.
Check out some of the stills from this movie:
It looks promising for a number of reasons:
1. Jeff Bridges is doing wisecracks with a Texan accent (which wasn't the case in the RIPD book I read from Dark Horse).
2. The designs on those ghost/ undead creatures are off-the-roof. Its got a vibe on the early Men in Black flicks.
3. Ryan Reynolds gets beaten up a lot of times here which I was looking forward ever since he starred in 'Green Lantern'.
4. Marissa Miller is Roy's avatar...
I'm assuming at the moment that R.I.P.D. will be distributed locally by Solar Entertainment. :)
