We just showed you guys the poster for the Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds starring supernatural action-comedy R.I.P.D. and just like that, here’s the film’s first trailer! I’ve got to say, it’s pretty damn awesome and not at all what I was expecting. In the trailer Jeff Bridges immediately steals the show by delivering some solid one-liners and just generally being a badass. So far R.I.P.D. looks like a lot of fun. Watch it below!
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.
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.
