Terrible sci fi flop starring Ryan Reynolds gets a surprise sequel

In RIPD – Rest in Peace Department, Ryan Reynolds plays a deceased police officer who is supposed to ensure law and order in the afterlife. The expensive sci-fi blockbuster went under at the box office (via Box Office Mojo). Surprisingly, it should now with RIPD – Rise of the Damned a second part is coming.

Worse sci-fi flop continues after 9 years – but without Ryan Reynolds

This is reported by Bloody Disgusting, among others. Nothing is known about the story so far an IMDb entry already reveals the cast. There is no sign of Reynolds or co-star Jeff Bridges from the first part. Jake Choi (Succession) and Richard Fleeshman (Sandman) are among the many relatively unknown faces. Paul Leyden, who has primarily directed TV series, is directing.

The sequel comes as a bit of a surprise given the box office results of its predecessor and hasn’t been talked about for a long time. Apart from the financial flop part 1 is ideal for a sequel. Similar to Men in Black, a completely bizarre world is designed here that works according to its own rules and theoretically has many stories ready.
