The Universal Pictures production, based on the Dark Horse Comics graphic novel series "R.I.P.D.", stars Ryan Reynolds ("Green Lantern") and Jeff Bridges ("Tron: Legacy"), for director Robert Schwentke ("Red").
Actor James Hong ("Big Trouble In Little China") will play the character 'Grandpa Chen'.
"It’s about two cops," said producer Neil Moritz about 'R.I.P.D.', "one recently dead (Reynolds) and a gunslinger (Bridges) who’s been dead for hundreds of years, that work in the 'Rest in Peace' department - which is the police department of the dead. It takes place on a normal day and it’s about trying to keep the spirits quiet."
