Django Who?

Check Out Erykah Badu In The Trailer for They Die By Dawn.

Turns out, a zombie isn't the only new role Erykah Badu's taken on of late.

Today we learn that Badu, who has previously appeared in such films as House of D, The Cider House Rules and Blues Brothers 2000, will also appear in the upcoming black cowboy epic They Die at Dawn in the role of a character named Stagecoach Mary. The film, we should note, also counts Rosario Dawson, Jesse Williams, Isaiah Washington, Giancarlo Esposito and The Wire alums Idris Elba and Micahel K. Williams in its cast, according to IMDB.

At the time of this writing, there's no announced release date for the flick. But, without question, the just-posted trailer for the effort has us hoping the film arrives sooner than later.

Check it out below. (Spoiler: Alas, Elba's nowhere to be found in it, unfortunately.)
