After debuting the trailer to enthusiastic support at the 2013 CinemaCon (the annual gathering of motion picture theatre industry professionals), Universal Pictures has now made the R.I.P.D. trailer available for the rest of the world to check out. In the action-comedy, Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds partner up as dead police officers working to protect the living from souls gone bad.
Directed by Robert Schwentke (Red), R.I.P.D. hits theaters on July 19, 2013.
The Plot:
Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds headline the 3D supernatural action-adventure R.I.P.D. as two cops dispatched by the otherworldly Rest In Peace Department to protect and serve the living from an increasingly destructive array of souls who refuse to move peacefully to the other side.
Veteran sheriff Roy Pulsifer (Bridges) has spent his career with the legendary police force known as R.I.P.D. tracking monstrous spirits who are cleverly disguised as ordinary people. His mission? To arrest and bring to justice a special brand of criminals trying to escape final judgment by hiding among the unsuspecting on Earth.
Once the wise-cracking Roy is assigned former rising-star detective Nick Walker (Reynolds) as his junior officer, the new partners have to turn grudging respect into top-notch teamwork. When they uncover a plot that could end life as we know it, two of R.I.P.D.’s finest must miraculously restore the cosmic balance…or watch the tunnel to the afterlife begin sending angry souls the very wrong way.
