New R.I.P.D. poster storms in

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

A brand new poster for the Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds-starring R.I.P.D. has just made its way online, and we have it for you to peep below.

We've already seen a very basic poster featuring the two leads as well as a decent trailer (that seemed slightly reminiscent of M.I.B. to some), but I gotta admit, I'm digging this new artwork. Directed by Peter Schwentke (RED), this flick stars the great looking cast of Ryan Reynolds, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Bacon, Mary-Louise Parker, Stephanie Szostak, and Marisa Miller and is about…

Nick is dead — at least, that's how he remembers it — and teams up with another deceased detective, a gunslinger from the Old West (played by Jeff Bridges), to work for the elite task force, the Rest In Peace Department (hence the title), to track down the dead on Earth. (Due to overpopulation, some unsettled spirits haven't gone where they're supposed to, and are hiding out). Technically, R.I.P.D. officers (who are overseen by Mary-Louise Parker) aren't allowed to kill anyone living, and aren't supposed to interact with anyone from their previous lives, but Nick is haunted by the fact that he was murdered by another cop (played by Kevin Bacon), and can't let it go.

R.I.P.D. is scheduled to hit theaters on July 19. With a great cast and awesome source material I'm just hoping it isn't DOA. I'm keeping my hopes up for this one.
