Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges Are Locked and Loaded On the Set of R.I.P.D.


As R.I.P.D. started shooting this month, we’ve been able to bring you looks at Universal’s adaption of this Dark Horse comic by Peter Lenkov with behind the scenes pictures of the production. We got some great sneak peeks of Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Bacon, and Jeff Bridges on set and in costume.

Now, we’ve got a few more pics to share courtesy of Zimbio of Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges as undead cops of the Rest In Peace Department in action and armed with comic book-esque guns. Get a load of these!

In casting news for R.I.P.D., Bloody Disgusting reports that up and coming actor Tobias Segal (Petunia, Rocky Balboa) has joined the cast though the role he will play is not known yet.

The film also stars Kevin Bacon (Crazy, Stupid, Love), Stephanie Szostak (Gimme Shelter), Mary-Louise Parker (Weeds), Mike O’Malley (Glee), Marisa Miller and James Hong (Blade Runner). Robert Schwentke (Red) is the director for R.I.P.D., based on a script by Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi.

He then tries to find the man who murdered him.

R.I.P.D. is slated to hit theaters on June 28th, 2013.
