Did you know Ryan Reynolds had a release that was worse than Green Lantern

One of the Worst Rated Ryan Reynolds Movie Is Now Getting a Sequel, Gladly It’s Not &#8216;Green Lantern&#8217;

Despite how much we as fans adore Ryan Reynolds, we just cannot get over some of
the truly terrible movies he was a part of. Obviously, the travesty that is DC’s
Green Lantern immediately comes to mind. It had to be one of the worst things
Reynolds was a part of and boy has he endured copious amounts of audience
backlash for it. It took a movie as a banger as Deadpool for the forgiveness
process to begin.

But did you know Ryan Reynolds was part of another comic book adaptation? We
aren’t talking about his cameo as the annoying fast-talking Wade Wilson in X-Men
Origins: Wolverine. Doesn’t ring a bell? That’s completely unsurprising as the
potential franchise that really stunk up the place upon its release. We are
talking about R.I.P.D., a sorry excuse for a comic-book adaptation with an
anemic Rotten Tomatoes score of 12% [https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/ripd]. And
that movie, my friends, is now getting a sequel.


RYAN REYNOLDS STARER R.I.P.D. WILL HAVE A PART 2

Motion Pictures Association recently confirmed that a sequel to the appalling
R.I.P.D. is actually in the making. The Association gave R.I.P.D. 2: Rise Of The
Damned an official rating of PG-13 owing to mature language, violent sequences,
and some crude sexual references. The movie will be a direct-to-video release.
No wonder we have heard nothing about it yet.

While not much is known about the film, the IMBD page gives us some insight.
Directed by Paul Leyden, the sequel will star Richard Fleeshman, Stephanie
Levi-Joh, Kerry Knuppe, Stephanie Levi-Joh, and Jake Choi. There’s absolutely no
mention of Ryan Reynolds. Perhaps, it is a good move for the Red Notice

star to have a better screening process for new projects.

WHAT IS R.I.P.D. ABOUT?

Starring Ryan Reynolds
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-from-hillside-to-the-adam-project-take-a-look-at-ryan-reynolds-evolution-as-an-actor/]
and Jeff Bridges, the 2013 action comedy R.I.P.D. or Rest in Peace Department is
based on the comics by Peter M. Lenkov and Lucas Marangon. It follows Nick
Walker (Reynolds), a recently murdered cop who desperately wants to find out who
killed him. He partners with a group of undead officers led by Roy Pulsifer
(Bridges). They essentially try to expose damned spirits hiding on earth among
the living in an attempt to avoid the underworld.



So why make a sequel for such a bad film? Soft reboots in the direct-to-video
market often prove to work in favor of production houses like Universal
Pictures. Many movies released through this format ended up being moderate
success stories and making a quick buck for the producers. Chucky by Universal
Pictures even went on to become a television feature after two DTV premieres.
