R.I.P.D. - based on the Dark Horse graphic novel of the same name. Reynolds says that he 'would like' the film to have a sequel, even saying that (plot-wise) it's set up for such a sequel if the first film's successful...
"I'm hoping to be able to work with all those people again," Reynolds said.
"It could be a franchise. It certainly is set up, plot-wise, for a sequel. But nobody's signed on for that just yet. We would like it to be [a film series.]"
