This is so much better than we could have hoped. When Zach Galifianakis dropped out of R.I.P.D., the film about undead cops solving supernatural crimes and fighting ghosts, I was worried that the film wouldn’t be able to find someone to fill the role who’d bring that same strangeness and hilarity that we expected from the bearded wonder. Now, the folks behind the film are going in a completely different direction, and I totally approve. They are in final talks to secure Jeff Bridges for the role once offered to Galifianakis. He’ll be the seasoned supernatural cop who partners with newbie Ryan Reynolds.
I doubt I’m the only one who’s surprised here, but I also doubt I’m the only one who thinks it’s a recipe for potential awesomeness.
