Topic: R.I.P.D. (2013)

When I was browsing imdb after watching Super, I noticed Kevin Bacon is due to star in this with Ryan Reynolds, Jeff Bridges, Marisa Miller and Mary-Louise Parker. Of course, the cast got my attention, but the synopsis sounds pretty cool:

A recently slain cop joins a team of undead police officers working for the Rest in Peace Department and tries to find the man who murdered him.

It'll be directed by Robert Schwentke.

Dead Heat did it before Not original

But yes, sounds like it could be fun if handled with enough black humor.

And here's the trailer:

So basically it's Men in Black with ghosts?

Stills looks kinda fun though.

I was going to say it looks like MIB for the less cerebral of us <G>

A movie kalled R.I.P.D with Ryan Reynolds basically screams for a movie poster like this:

Exactly what I was thinking...

Looks like it could be good entertainment for 2 hours though. But it also looks like I will ultimately stick with Dead Heat.

Jeff Bridges is overdoing is accent a little though. Or is this basically meant to be his character from True Grit...?

I haven't looked into it, but I assumed he would turn out to be some famous historical lawman, like Wyatt Earp or something.
It took me a couple of watches before I could figure out what he was saying though.

Maybe carrying on his Wild Bill character

That's what many people said about True Grit as well

I've seen the trailers for this one a few times.  I want to see it.  I think it looks entertaining.
