Looks like Ryan Reynolds other other film RIPD has signed itself a director, and it just makes me even more excited for the project. Robert Schwentke has put pen to paper securing him for the film.
Universal Pictures has hired Robert Schwentke (Red, Time Traveler’s Wife, Flightplan) to direct the supernatural action film “RIPD,” based on a comic book about a police department of the dead.
Ryan Reynolds (Green Lantern) signed last spring to star in “RIPD,” centered on two officers — one recently dead (who would do anything to get back to his wife) and a gunslinger who’s been dead for hundreds of years.
This does sound like a great concept for a movie and I can’t wait to see it come to life.
And from what I have seen of RED, Robert Schwentke looks like a good fit as I am anxiously anticipating that film because of its style and wit.
