Just the other day I posted the news that Bubba Ho-tep 2 looks like it's heading along nicely, but the question was who could replace Ossie Davis? Well it looks like it could be none other than Paul Giamatti.

I have to say I just watched Sideways and thought it was superb, his performance was brilliant. I think he would be a superb partner to the aged Elvis of Bruce Campbell. In fact I could almost see the same character teaming up with Bruce.

The news comes from Bloody Disgusting through Moviehole.net:

In “Bubba Nosferatu: Curse of the She-Vampires”, Elvis is shooting a film in Louisiana where he runs afoul of a coven of she-vampires. Giamatti will play the fantastically named Colonial Parker.

Oh, come on, how exciting does that sound? No idea on the character Giamatti will be playing, but do you think he's mimicking a certain person's manager?
