Talk about turning the zombie-genre comic series 'R.I.P.D.' by Peter Lenkov looks to be coming true now. A cast, director, and script have been chosen and filming should start next year for a theater release in 2013. The movie is being produced by Dark Horse Entertainment and will be directed by Robert Schwentke.
So far the movie has signed Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds in starring roles. Kevin Bacon is rumored to play the villain. And Mary-Louise Parker has just signed to play a prominent role, originally offered to Jodie Foster. This movie is obviously the real-deal with this cast, and should be interesting.
The plot of the comic book series focuses on a cop who is killed and comes back as a zombie to join an undead police force called the 'Rest In Peace Department' or 'R.I.P.D.' The cop's goal is to find the person who murdered him. This sounds like a great idea for a zombie related movie, with potential for sequels. But let's see what the first one brings.
