He had the most awesome weapon in From Dusk Till Dawn (pictured) and now Tom Savini has signed up for Quentin Tarantino’s forthcoming Django Unchained. Savini will be playing slave owner Ellis Brittle, who is one of the three Brittle brothers who rape Django’s wife and brand him with an R (for Runaway)

Jamie Foxx is in the title role alongside the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz. The cast is incredibly awesome and this is shaping up to be one of the big ones for next year, when it finally arrives on Christmas day, 2012. I don’t know about you, but I cannot wait!!!
