RIPD And Roaring With Bridges?

Academy Award winner Jeff Bridges is in negotiations to star opposite Ryan Reynolds in the supernatural comedy R.I.P.D. says  Deadline New York

The story sees Reynolds play a young cop murdered in the line of duty who agrees to enlist in the 'Rest In Peace Department', a police force of ghosts, for the chance to catch his killer. The action follows a regular day in the life while on the beat



Bridges would play the role that Zach Galifianakis was pegged for until he dropped out a few weeks ago--that of Ryan's partner a gunslinger who himself has been dead since the 1800s. I hope he does the film...The potential chemestry between the 2  leads could be huge--Better than Ryan & Zach would have been I dare say.

Robert Schwentke ("Flightplan" Red) is still supposed to direct the film from a script by Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi.
