The film was directed by Robert Schwentke and written by Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi based on the 1999 comic book R.I.P.D. by Peter M. Lenkov. The film also stars Kevin Bacon, Mary-Louise Parker, Stéphanie Szostak, and Marisa Miller.

Filming was completed on January 28, 2012,[7] and the film was originally set to be released on June 28, 2013[8] in the United States by Universal Pictures, but was pushed back to July 19, 2013.
