Robert Schwentke‘s R.I.P.D. has a new movie poster making the rounds on the Internet. Starring Jeff Bridges and Ryan Renolds, R.I.P.D. is an action-comedy cop movie, based on the comic book Rest In Peace Department by Peter M. Lenkov.

A recently slain cop joins a team of undead police officers working for the Rest In Peace Department and tries to find the man who murdered him.

I’m kinda disappointed in the poster above. It just looks like another standard buddy cop movie. I guess that flying police car is supposed to imply supernatural action or something, although it doesn’t do anything to help the one thing that actually looks supernatural, that huge whirling hole in the background, the car just gets in the way IMHO.

The first trailer is embedded below is you haven’t seen it yet. R.I.P.D. is scheduled for release on June 28th.

This week on The Bastardcast, Jason and Jeremy talk about a nightmare Justice League cast, why Smurfs hate Jamie Foxx, why Guillermo del Toro (like many others) hates Michael Bay, why everybody hates Gwyneth Paltrow, and how a bunch of toys that were designed in 1979, might be the key to solving all the lingering questions from Prometheus.

Also on the show: The boys investigate what both G-Pal (we call her G-Pal now) and Iron Man smell like, what it would be like if Arnold Schwarzenegger replaced Kelly LeBrock in the Weird Science remake, how Porn Inspector would look on a resume, and why Patton Oswalt, the guy from Monk, and Superman are freaking awesome, and possibly the same person (bum! Bum!! BUM!!!).

If that gets your blood pumping, don’t miss Jeremy traumatizing his son, and Jason calling for hand job flavored cough medicine before raging about his uncapitalized upon rumble pack masturbatory aide invention and the magical vibrating underthings that are swooping in to capitalize on that market. ‘

All that and unicorn recipes that will make your head spin, on The Bastardcast.

If you’ve been waiting for more visuals from the upcoming R.I.P.D. adaptation, look no further.  This 2013 summer release, directed by Robert Schwentke (Red) and based on a comic of the same name by writer Peter M. Lenkov, will bring together Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds in the roles of some dead guys who continue the good fight from beyond the grave and face down a slew of supernatural baddies.

Check out what it looks like below:

While I’m not a fan of Reynolds by any stretch of the imagination, I have to say I’m a bit intrigued by this one.  Hell, I might even drop a few bucks to go see it.

If it looks good to you, check out R.I.P.D. when it hits theaters on July 19^th.

Thanks to /film for the heads-up.

Last week we shared the first look at Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds in the ‘forever stuck in production hell’ R.I.P.D. Today, there’s a poster and a promise, from Collider, of a trailer to come this week. The poster features the two dead cops and smartly displays what the hell R.I.P.D. actually means, hopefully clearing up confusion over what this film is all about,

It’s been a while coming, but finally we have an official look at Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds in R.I.P.D. The adaptation of the Dark Horse comic comes from Universal, was directed by Robert Schwentke, and is expected to release on July 19th. So it’s about damn time we get a look at it! I imagine a trailer won’t be far behind.

This still comes courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, click the above image for a better look. I dig Bridges mustache. Not as spectacular as say, Christoph Waltz in Django Unchained, but still, it’s stylish.

Since it’s been a while since we heard anything about R.I.P.D., here’s a quick refresher,

Nick is dead — at least, that’s how he remembers it — and teams up with another deceased detective, a gunslinger from the Old West (played by Jeff Bridges), to work for the elite task force, the Rest In Peace Department (hence the title), to track down the dead on Earth. (Due to overpopulation, some unsettled spirits haven’t gone where they’re supposed to, and are hiding out). Technically, R.I.P.D. officers (who are overseen by Mary-Louise Parker) aren’t allowed to kill anyone living, and aren’t supposed to interact with anyone from their previous lives, but Nick is haunted by the fact that he was murdered by another cop (played by Kevin Bacon), and can’t let it go.

R.I.P.D. will also star Stephanie Szostak, Marisa Miller, Mike O’Malley, James Hong, Robert Knepper and Tobias Segal. What are ya thinking? Excited?

Jeremy Barlow has written Star Wars comics, Mass Effect comics, Deathlok, and more, but this time he’s taking us out west with R.I.P.D.: City of the Damned, a prequel to the R.I.P.D. movie that will star Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds when it debuts this summer.

I spoke to Barlow about picking up where Peter Lenkov left off with R.I.P.D., what he thinks about the future of Star Wars, the possibility of more Deathlok, going freelance, and what it takes to write a comic book.  (more…)

Universal has announced a few of their upcoming films’ release dates, including Kick-Ass 2 which will come to theatres June 28, 2013. Also releasing next year will be Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges in R.I.P.D on July 19, 2013 and 2 Guns starring Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington on August 16, 2013.

All right, so next summer is beginning to look a little crowded, particularly for comic book movies. Surprise surprise. Here’s what else we’ve got to look forward to in 2013: Iron Man 3 (May 3), Man of Steel (June 14) and The Wolverine (July 26). Plus, don’t forget Thor 2 is coming out sometime in November. And just like this past summer it appears to be a Marvel heavy one with only one DC contender.

And something that I’m sure is relevant to most of your interests: Jurassic Park in 3D has been given a new release date of  July 19, 2013. I know, I know, it’s a blatant cash grab but I don’t care, it’s JURASSIC PARK, in theatres again! 3D or not, I’m there.

Of all the comic book movies releasing next year, which are you most pumped for? Which could you give a flying fuck about?

There’s two things I really like about San Diego Comic Con. 1. Cosplay tits. Everywhere you look there’s giant boobs spilling out of tight costumes. It’s  a real feast of flesh (see Power Girl above) 2. Getting a first look at footage from upcoming blockbusters and listening to creatives/performers talk about their films. I dunno if it’s all really worth waiting in line for 4+ hours (oh yes, there’s a lot of waiting. A LOT!), but it’s certainly an exclusive, very personal experience. An involving one to say the least. Speaking of the latter…

While Hollywood studios are still in the process of securing down their convention plans, the run down of panel presentations trickling in thus far are proving SDCC 2012  is gonna be a epic year.

So…who in Hollywood is coming to Comic Con?

Marvel Studios is planning, well… to be marvelous. Some early work from Iron Man 3 will be presented. Word has it they’ll end up officially announcing those two secret film projects in development. Disney will be showing off Wreck-It Ralph and Oz: The Great and Powerful and maybe… just maybe The Lone Ranger.

The good shit just keeps on rolling.

Warner Bros. will bringing along The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, as well as Zack Snyder‘s Man of Steel. Legendary Pictures will take sloppy seconds to preview Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim.

That’s kind of it for the meat and potatoes, but the icing on the proverbial con cake would be Sony and Universal Pictures. Sony will be bringing along  Joseph Gordon-Levitt‘s Premium Rush, Kevin James’ martial-arts comedy Here Comes the Boom, and Will Smith and M. Night Shymalan‘s post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie After Earth. I imagine The Total Recall reboot will probably appear again as well.

Universal hasn’t announced much yet, but it’s suspected they will bring stuff from The Bourne Legacy, Keanu Reeves’ samurai epic 47 Ronin and Dark Horse Comics adaptation of R.I.P.D. with Ryan Reynolds.

I almost forgot. Summit Entertainment and Lionsgate will have a little somethin’, somethin’ in The Twlight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 and The Expendables 2.

Studios not attending this year’s convention include 20th Century Fox, Relativity Media, DreamWorks, and Paramount Pictures. Bummer.

Got a pass for SDCC 2012? Then tell us what films (or Cosplay tits) you’re most looking forward to by sounding off in the comments below.

For the next three days Las Vegas will be home to something other then gambling and Ultimate Fighting, it’s the home of the Las Vegas Licensing Expo.  Each year, exhibitors from all over the world come together to sell off the licensing rights to their hottest properties.   But, this gives us a sneak peek at the coming movies for 2013.

With photos courtesy of Coming Soon, we’ve been given a glimpse into the coming year’s hottest properties through the art of the “teaser poster”.  After Earth, A Good Day To Die Hard, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, R.I.P.D., Robocop, Robopocalypse, Pacific Rim and Ender’s Game - they’re all here.

Even if A Good Day To Die Hard looks like the exact same poster as the last movie, with different text and a Russian landscape in the background, the rest of these posters look pretty darn cool. Check them out in the jump:

As his quest to star in every comic book movie made continues, Ryan Reynolds has his sites set on his latest being a franchise.  Robert Schwentke‘s adaption of the Peter Lenkov graphic novel, R.I.P.D. has wrapped up production and Reynolds says he’s be on board for a sequel.

“Being on set was incredible, because it’s a movie project that I’ve been with for years and believed in. Being able to stick with it is half the battle.”

Nick is dead — at least, that’s how he remembers it — and teams up with another deceased detective, a gunslinger from the Old West (played by Jeff Bridges), to work for the elite task force, the Rest In Peace Department (hence the title), to track down the dead on Earth. (Due to overpopulation, some unsettled spirits haven’t gone where they’re supposed to, and are hiding out).
