R.I.P.D. (marketed as R.I.P.D.: Rest in Peace Department) is a 2013 American supernatural action comedy film starring Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds. The film was directed by Robert Schwentke from a screenplay by Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi, based on the 1999 comic book R.I.P.D. by Peter M. Lenkov and Lucas Marangon. The film also stars Kevin Bacon, Mary-Louise Parker, Stéphanie Szostak, and Marisa Miller. The story follows a murdered detective who is recruited to work for the eponymous afterlife agency—whose duty is to capture souls that evade judgement—where he is partnered with an Old West lawman and discovers a mysterious conspiracy.
The film was originally set to be released on June 28, 2013 in the United States by Universal Pictures, but was pushed back to July 19, 2013. R.I.P.D. was a box-office bomb, grossing $78.3 million on a $130‒154 million budget, and received generally negative reviews from critics. It was released on DVD and Blu-ray on October 29, 2013. A direct-to-video prequel, R.I.P.D. 2: Rise of the Damned, was released on November 15, 2022.
