I honestly can't keep up with all the comic book movies that have been coming out lately.  I did see Thor (it was kind of awful), but I haven't yet had the chance to see the new X-Men movie or Captain America.  I'll wait for them to come out on video and then save them for my next plane or bus ride.  Speaking of comic book movies, word on the street is that a new one, R.I.P.D., is going to be filming here starting in September and it stars Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds.  Speaking of Ryan Reynolds, I haven't seen the Green Lantern yet either - that did come out, right?

Deadline reported that the graphic novel adaptation, R.I.P.D. starring Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds, directed by Robert Schwentke, will be released by Universal on June 28th, 2013. 

Jeff Bridges will play Roy Powell (gunslinger who’s been dead for a while) and Ryan Reynolds will play Nick Cruz (recently murdered cop, driven by revenge) in the Robert Schwentke-directed supernatural comedy R.I.P.D. Production starts September in Boston. The film will open on June 28th, 2013

R.I.P.D. is based on the Dark Horse comics graphic novel by Peter Lenkov, illustrated by Lucas Marangon and Randy Emberlin.

I just saw a couple of casting call emails come across my inbox as well, so I'm pretty sure it's happening soon.  Keep an eye out.
