R.I.P.D. 2: Rise of the Damned

In the dusty aftermath of an 1876 showdown, Roy Pulsipher finds his story far from over. His untimely death folds him into the Rest In Peace Department, a quirky after‑life agency tasked with keeping the spirit world in line. The department’s bustling headquarters hums with otherworldly gadgets and veteran agents, all bound by a dead‑serious mission that carries a surprisingly light‑hearted bureaucracy. It is a place where lawmen from every era learn that death is only the beginning of a new kind of service.

Jeanne d’Arc arrives as Roy’s unlikely partner—a resurrected operative whose centuries‑old resolve is matched only by a dry wit that keeps the duo from succumbing to the weight of their new responsibilities. Their chemistry is a blend of old‑west stoicism and ghostly sarcasm, each bringing a distinct perspective to the job: Roy’s frontier‑born sense of justice and Jeanne’s otherworldly experience. Together they navigate a realm where gunslinger codes meet ethereal rules, creating a dynamic that is as humorous as it is heroic.

Beyond the department’s corridors, a darker disturbance looms. Rumors of a portal opening in Red Creek hint at a rift between the living world and a hellish dimension, threatening to unleash chaos on humanity. The very fabric of reality seems poised to fray, and the R.I.P.D. must act before the breach swallows more than just souls. This looming menace adds a pulse‑pounding urgency to the film’s tone, mixing high‑octane action with supernatural suspense.

The result is a vivid mash‑up of western frontier mythos and paranormal procedure, steeped in playful banter and a constant undercurrent of danger. As Roy and Jeanne step into this bizarre frontier, audiences are invited to wonder how an old‑time sheriff will adapt to policing the afterlife while confronting a threat that could rewrite the rules of existence itself.
