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.
Neal Moritz will produce the film that takes it's cues from comic by Peter Lenkov
Robert Schwentke ("Flightplan" Red) is still supposed to direct the film from a script by Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi.
