Robert Schwentke (Red) is directing the adaptation of R.I.P.D. Ryan Reynolds plays Nick, a murdered cop who joins the undead officers of the Rest in Peace Department to find the man who murdered him.

Reynolds is still attached to the Deadpool movie, but it has been stuck in development for a while.

Remember when Samuel L Jackson famously bellowed: “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH”? That’s how I’m feeling. As I left the Cinema, saying goodbye to my Dad on Fathers Day, I started strolling. I...

Director: Martin Campbell Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, Tim Robbins Green Lantern lights up the cinema from 17th June.
