Foster being courted for supernatural action with Reynolds and Bridges.

Universal is reportedly looking to hire Jodie Foster for a role in the studio’s upcoming adaptation of Peter M. Lenkov’s Dark Horse comic ‘R.I.P.D.’

According to Bloody Disgusting, the actress is being eyed for the role of Proctor, the boss of Reynolds and Bridges’ undead cops at the Rest In Peace Department, a group of undead law enforcement officers who “patrol the deadbeat.”

The movie would reunite Foster with her ‘Flightplan’ director Robert Schwentke, who is handling directing duties on ‘R.I.P.D.’ The actress is currently in pre-production on Neil Blomkamp’s political sci-fi ‘Elysium.’

    Not the biggest fan of Foster but she can act. Cast is impressive so far.

    Very solid cast, agree that this seems like it's taking forever to get made.
