Rosario Dawson to Star as Velvet Von Black

Retro, horror king Rob Zombie has just completed his animated film The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, due for release in 2009. The animated feature will star Rosario Dawson –star of Seven Pounds with Will Smith– who gets top billing as the voice of Velvet Von Black.Paul Giamatti will play Dr. Satan.

In usual Rob Zombie-style, his wife Sheri Moon Zombie is cast as El Superbeasto’s sidekick and sister, Suzi X. It should be another freakfest, given Zombie’s past forays into horror, namely, House of a 1,000 Corpses, and The Devil’s Rejects. Yeah, just lose one afternoon watching either of these films so you can ask your friends, “What in the hell did I just watch?”
