R.I.P.D. Is Set Up For A Sequel?
In case anyone out there is still confused by this title – don’t worry, we are too! R.I.P.D. is set to open on June 28th, 2013 and we’re already here to talk about the sequel.
Weird, but what the hell, when you have the script waiting for a sequel – then it’s never early to discuss it, right?
R.I.P.D. Adds a New Cast Member
Robert Knepper, well-known for starring as Theodore ‘T-Bag’ Bagwell in the Fox’s drama series Prison Break (for which he was nominated a Satellite Award) is set to star as a spirit called ‘Deado’ in the adaptation of the Dark Horse comic R.I.P.D.
Mary-Louise Parker In R.I.P.D.
R.I.P.D. opens on June 28, 2013, the movie has great cast on board and although we’re still in 2011, we’re also interested to see how things with the upcoming Robert Schwentke‘s movie are moving on.
So, it’s obvious we’re here for a new addition to the previously announced cast list that already includes Ryan Reynolds, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Bacon and Stephanie Szostak. And the lucky lady is Mary-Louise Parker!
Parker is actually still in negotiations to join Schwentke’s adaptation of the graphic novel R.I.P.D. but she has good chances to jump in, especially now when Jodie Foster, who was previously attached to star as Procter, passed the role.
Robert Schwentke to Direct THE POISON KITCHEN
It goes like this. If it’s not all about Snow White, then it’s all about the vampires. And if it’s not about the vampires, then it’s all about the zombies. Well, guess what, just in case you’re sick and tired of all those Snow Whites, vampires and zombies, you should start training your stomach for the Nazis, because they’re coming to occupy Hollywood!
And, apparently, this time, their leader will be Robert Schwentke, a German (see, it’s all well-planned already) director who’s currently working on that R.I.P.D. movie.
But one thing is for sure. Something good is cooking in Schwentke’s kitchen. Dangerous as well though, because we’re actually talking about the project titled The Poison Kitchen.
Jodie Foster To Join Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges for R.I.P.D.
R.I.P.D, familiar story, familiar project, but definitely something that is worth our full attention. Especially now, when we learned something great!
According to the latest reports, Jodie Foster is in negotiations to join the cast of the upcoming Robert Schwentke’s adaptation of the well-known Dark Horse comic, and a project already described as “the supernatural comedy.”
And we’re definitely ready for this lovely lady! Universal Studio shares our opinion, since the plan is for Foster to play the role of “Proctor” and to join the cast that already includes Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges, who are set to star as the leads.
Well, I guess now we should all wait for the confirmation, right?
As we previously reported, producer Neil Moritz revealed that the movie is “about two cops, one recently dead and a gunslinger who’s been dead for hundreds of years who work on the Rest in Peace department – which is the police department of the dead.
Jeff Bridges to Join Ryan Reynolds in R.I.P.D.
Are you ready to hear the latest updates on the upcoming Robert Schwentke‘s project titled R.I.P.D.? Yeah, I know you’re interested in this movie, based on the Dark Horse comic, and already described as “the supernatural comedy” so let’s start.
Apparently, now Jeff Bridges is in negotiations to replace previously reported Zach Galifianakis for one of the leading roles.
At the beginning, here’s a little description: “Welcome to the Rest In Peace Department – the devoted, yet dead, officers of divine law enforcement “patrolling the deadbeat…reporting to one boss. Yep – THAT boss.
Zach Galifianakis in Talks to Join Ryan Reynolds in R.I.P.D.
Zach Galifianakis is in talks to star in an upcoming Robert Schwentke‘s adaptation of the Dark Horse comic titled R.I.P.D.
We already had a little chat about this Universal Pictures’ buddy action comedy, so you know it actually means Rest In Peace Department and you know that Ryan Reynolds will star in the flick as well…
Here’s the R.I.P.D. official synopsis:
“Welcome to the Rest In Peace Department – the devoted, yet dead, officers of divine law enforcement “patrolling the deadbeat…reporting to one boss.”
Yep – THAT boss. Nick Cruz was murdered by an unknown assailent, at the height of his personal and professional life.
Red Movie Review
Directed by Robert Schwentke (2009′s “The Time Traveler’s Wife”), “Red” is based on a three-part DC Comics graphic novel by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner. There are no superheroes on hand, though one might suspect otherwise after watching Frank and his cohorts perform some fancy stuntwork with their high-powered weaponry. Before the pyrotechnics go down, the film opens as a closely observed character story about Frank’s struggle to slow down and get a life after years of dedicating himself to his profession. Screenwriters Jon Hoeber and Erich Hoeber (2009′s “Whiteout”) bring a welcome sense of humor to these early scenes and also strike hot in the over-the-phone flirtations between Frank and Sarah. Had things continued to center on these two even after their lives come under fire, “Red” might have proved to be something special. Instead, their snappy interplay fades into the background as the rest of his CIA co-workers are introduced and then are given little of note to do. In fact, virtually all character shades are dulled as the forgettable, drawn-out climax—alternately too talky and too chaotic—pushes the running time toward the two-hour mark…read more [WorstPreviews]
International Red Poster
A new international poster is out for Red movie staring Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren.
Frank (Willis), Joe (Freeman), Marvin (Malkovich) and Victoria (Mirren) used to be the CIA’s top agents – but the secrets they know just made them the Agency’s top targets. Now framed for assassination, they must use all of their collective cunning, experience and teamwork to stay one step ahead of their deadly pursuers and stay alive. To stop the operation, the team embarks on an impossible, cross-country mission to break into the top-secret CIA headquarters, where they will uncover one of the biggest conspiracies and cover-ups in government history.
