Are you keeping up with the latest casting news for Rob Zombie's The Lords of Salem? A week ago, the writer-director added Torsten Voges to the film. That's in addition to Meg Foster, Ernest Thomas and Jeff Daniel Phillips.

Today, he took to Facebook to write:

Here's some really exciting casting news! I am fucking thrilled to announce that Academy Award nominated actor BRUCE DERN has joined the ever growing cast of THE LORDS OF SALEM. Bruce is taking on the role of FRANCIS MATTHIAS author of the book "SATAN'S LAST STAND - The Truth About The Salem Witch Trials." Francis may know a little too much about witches for his own good.

Bruce has appeared in so many classic films it is almost impossible to list them but here are a few: The Wild Angels, The Trip, Psych-Out, Hang 'Em High, They Shoot Horses Don't They, The Cowboys, Silent Running, The King Of Marvin Gardens, The Great Gatsby, Family Plot, Black Sunday, Coming Home and the list goes on and on and on.

Most recently Bruce completed work on Francis Ford Coppola's latest film entitles TWIXT.

Zombie starts shooting Salem shortly. For full plot details, visit this spot.
