CBM favorite Jeff Bridges in is final negotiations to replace Zach Galifianakis in the Robert Schwentke-directed supernatural comedy R.I.P.D..
R.I.P.D. follows a murdered cop (Reynolds) who is recruited to work in the Rest in Peace Department, a police force comprised of ghosts who battle spirits unready to depart this world.
Bridges will play Reynolds' partner, a wise-cracking officer who's been hunting spirits since the 1800s.
Universal Pictures are said to be close to sealing the deal with Bridges who would star opposite Ryan Reynolds. Galifianakis apparently left the project due to Reynold's uncertainty at taking the role over his commitment to the
Green Lantern sequel. It's safe to say my anticipation level just went up a notch for this one, it's now at 1.
