We mentioned this rumor earlier, and even talked about this confirmation on Twitter but with the interview and the server migration I forgot to put up official notice until now: Oscar winner Jeff Bridges will play a Zombie cop in an upcoming film!

The Wrap reports that Bridges will play a veteran police officer named Roy in the film, which is being helmed by RED’s Robert Schwentke. CLASH OF THE TITANS’ Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay wrote the script. Bridges will co-star with Ryan Reynolds, who plays a recently slain cop who joins the Rest In Peace Department, a police force made up of undead officers.

Yes, it seems like serious star power is coming down on both the Pro and Anti Zombie sides of the film industry of late, between this news and ‘The Curse of the Buxom Strumpet’ starring Sir Ian McKellen and Dame Judi Dench.

You know who we’re rooting for.
