Read on to find out, “Where was RIPD filmed?” Filmed in 2012, it was ready to be released only a year later in 2013. The science-fiction comedy was helmed by Robert Schwentke and stars Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds in the lead. The film also stars Kevin Bacon, Mary-Louise Parker, Stéphanie Szostak, and Marisa Miller. So, does anyone actually really love or hate it, and a special bonus question.The 2013 American Science fiction action film RIPD or Rest in Peace Department was one of the most unique films made in the science fiction genre. It didn't bring anything particularly new to the genre, but I can think of plenty of films that have fared far better with less originality.

Looking at the other releases on or before July 2013, there was Despicable Me 2, Red 2, and The Wolverine was coming up - all sequels. Ryan Renolds does his usual shtick, there's a solid performance from Jeff Bridges and supporting actors, and it's acceptable on every level, and yet it tanked spectacularly. It might not have delivered on the premise - 'Jeff Fucking Bridges playing a dead cowboy in the present day', but it didn't exactly disappoint. It's everything you expect so although it's not worth raving about it, I didn't dislike it. It's not fantastic by any stretch it's highly derivative, taking gigantic chunks of its look, effects and ideas from MIB, and there's barely an original thought in there, but it's not awful. It has an average critic RT score of 14%, only one more than fecking Geostorm, and an audience rating of 38%, so a dud by any other name.Īnd yet, having finally got around to watch it, it's not shite.

It made worldwide about $78 million, on a budget of $130, so there's no doubt that it was a monumental failure financially.
