According to THR, Zach Galifianakis may join the supernatural comedy, R.I.P.D.

Reportedly, Zack is in “substantive talks to star opposite Ryan Reynolds in the movie, being directed by Robert Schwentke.”

The project is based on the Dark Horse comic about a murdered cop (Reynolds) “who is recruited to work in the Rest in Peace Department, a police force comprised of ghosts who battle spirits unready to depart this world.” Zack will play Reynolds’ partner, a wise-cracking officer who’s been hunting spirits since the 1800s.

The bad news for comic fans is that Ryan’s involvement in the film may mean he won’t be starring in a Deadpool movie anytime soon.

Though there’s no word on where or when R.I.P.D will shoot, it may not be for a few months. We recently heard that Zach may begin shooting Central Intelligence with his Hangover co-star Ed Helms as early as next month.
