Call it the Men in Black for the supernatural set, but we’ve got the first trailer for the adaptation of the Dark Horse Comics series R.I.P.D. Starring Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges as they deal with a copy that dies and now has to deal with the undead world and the strange supernatural aspects of that, there’s some interesting things to work with it, especially since Bridges looks like he’s just chewing an intense amount of scenery.
Plot Concept: 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.
