Late last week McG was circling the comic book adaptation R.I.P.D ...Robert Schwentke has suddenly emerged as the leading candidate to call action on the flick reports The L.A. Times.
Ryan Reynolds is attached to star a young cop murdered in the line of duty who agrees to enlist in "God's police force" for a chance to catch his killer. The action follows a regular day in the life of him and his partner, a gunslinger who himself has been dead for centuries.
Both Schwentke and McG were competing to helm the project until the rom-com This Means War, , which McG is committed to, suddenly got going and put him out of the running.
The plan is to shoot the project next Summer but the studio wants a director to begin pre-production on the film almost immediately. Schwentke would direct from a script by Clash of the Titans 2010 screenwriters Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi,
Schwentke is also inked to the new film adaptation of "The Osterman Weekend" and 'Shadow Divers'
