R.I.P.D.

Armies
from the afterlife

Academy
award-winning actor Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart) returns to the screen to
headline the 3D supernatural action-adventure R.I.P.D. (Rest in Peace
Department).

Bridges shares stellar billing with Ryan Reynolds as two cops dispatched
by the otherworldly law-enforcing agency to protect and serve the living from
an increasingly destructive array of creatures who refuse to move peacefully
into the afterlife.

Bridges
plays Roycephus “Roy” Pulsifer, a legendary police agent tracking monstrous
souls lingering among the living as ordinary people. After serving several
tours of duty from multiple infractions on the department, Roy has assumed the ‘been
there, seen that’ attitude.

Reynolds,
on the other hand, takes on the role of Nick Walker, a recently slain cop who
joins the team of undead police officers as he tries to avenge his untimely
demise on the man who murdered him, Hayes (Kevin Bacon). Together, the duo
returns to the streets of Boston in their avatars: Bridges as a buxom blonde
(Marissa Miller) and Reynolds as an aging Chinese man (James Hong).

Distributed
in the Philippines by United International Pictures and Solar Entertainment,
the comic caper is directed by Robert Schwentke, currently showing in cinemas
nationwide.
