As "Variety" reports, WEEDS star
Mary Louise Parker has joined the movie adaptation of graphic novel
R.I.P.D. which follows
an unusual police unit comprised of cops killed in the line of duty which is why it is called the Rest in Peace Department.
Mary Louise Parker will play the head of R.I.P.D. while
Ryan Reynolds will appear as a new policeman in the team whom she has to introduce with his new colleagues. Other stars who will play the older dead cops in this adaptation of
Peter M. Lenkov's story are

SHORT TELEVISION HEADLINES
The second season of
Showtime's
BORGIAS is ready to shoot and one of the new members in the cast lead by
Jeremy Irons and
David Oakes is
David Alpay who has landed a major
recurring role in the show, and he will play an Italian prince Calvino who becomes a suitor for
Holliday Grainger's Lucrezia. You probably remember Alpay from his short role in THE TUDORS.
Talented writer
Bruce McKenna, who wrote BAND OF BROTHERS and THE PACIFIC, is currently working on TNT's new Wild West drama
GATEWAY which will follow three brothers who must maintain justice when their sheriff father is murdered by a local villain. As
I wrote earlier, this will not be the only Wild West show on TV since AMC has produced
HELL ON WHEELS with
Anson Mount in the lead role.
You know how I love me a good Viking epic, and it seems that beside
Alexander Skarsgard's THE VANGUARD, which I've
mentioned recently, we shall get another Scandinavian epic. Titled
VIKING, this Universal's new project will follow a group of savage Norsemen who've collected Irish slaves to trade in Iceland. According to "THR" the film be a mix of BRAVEHEART and APOCALYPTO.
According to "Variety",
DreamWorks will make a film adaptation out of
Karen Marie Moning's fantasy saga
DARKFEVER about a woman who falls into a fantastical world filled with ancient magic and mythical creatures where she is tasked with finding a book
that could save both the real world and this new land she has come to inhabit. As far as I got it, the book features a bunch of extremely hot characters, like the one from the image above.
