Cameras! Cameras everywhere! Especially it seems on the set of the new flick R.I.P.D.! That’s right, kids! The general public and their pesky iPhones have struck again, this time bringing us videos from the set! Dig it!

R.I.P.D. stars Ryan Reynolds, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Bacon, Mary-Louise Parker, Marisa Miller, James Hong, and Stephanie Szostak. Robert Schwentke is directing the project, which follows a murdered cop (Reynolds) who is recruited to work in the Rest in Peace Department, a police force comprised of ghosts who battle spirits unready to depart this world. Bridges is playing Reynolds’ ghostly partner.

Hong plays “Grandpa Chen,” Reynolds’ avatar, the form humans see when Reynolds’ character goes about his business. Miller is Bridges’ avatar, and Szostak portrays Reynolds’ wife, who can sense that he is still around and with whom he is trying to communicate in regard to his murder.

Universal Pictures’ supernatural farce has been scheduled for June 28th, 2013. More soon.

Comic Synopsis
