Kevin Bacon joins R.I.P.D.

Kevin Bacon has been loving these villain roles in comic book movies lately with his turn in X-Men: First Class, and now, according to Variety, in R.I.P.D.

Welcome to the Rest in Peace Department–the devoted, yet dead, officers of divine law enforcement “patrolling the deadbeat … reporting to one boss.” Yep–THAT boss. Nick Cruz died an untimely death at the height of his personal and professional life. Why did he join the R.I.P.D.? Well, not knowing the identity of his killer has left his soul a bit … restless. Now he hunts some of the most fiendish creatures, hoping for the chance to find out who set him up so he can get into heaven.

R.I.P.D. is directed by Robert Schwentke, based off of Peter Lenkov comic for Dark Horse, and Univerisal is planning a June 28th, 2013 release.
