Every one of Tarantino's past films, from Reservoir Dogs to Inglourious Basterds, was edited by the masterful Sally Menke, who tragically died last year in Los Angeles.  Without his regular collaborator, Tarantino has found a new editor with whom to work, and according to the Quentin Tarantino Archive, that editor will be Fred Raskin. 

Raskin previously worked in the editorial department on both volumes of Kill Bill, as well as Insomnia, Boogie Nights, and Punch Drunk Love.  He's been Justin Lin's regular editor since Annapolis, cutting the last three entries in the Fast and Furious franchise.

As for the cinematography, Tarantino will once again work with Robert Richardson, the two-time Oscar winner who shot Kill Bill and Inglourious Basterds.  Richardson has also served as the director of photography on a number of Martin Scorsese's slickest-looking pictures, including The Aviator, Casino, and Shutter Island, as well as the upcoming Hugo.  He just shot World War Z and is currently developing a television adaptation of Neil Gaiman's American Gods for HBO.

Jamie Foxx will star as Django, with Christoph Waltz as a German dentist-turned-bounty hunter who frees the slave and coaches him in the ways of the mercenary.  Foxx will go head to head with Leonardo DiCaprio as sadistic plantation owner Calvin Candie and Samuel L. Jackson as his manipulative personal valet.  Kerry Washinton plays Broomhilda, Django's wife, and the rest of the cast includes the likes of Kurt Russell, Sacha Baron Cohen, Tom Savini, Don Johnson, RZA, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and M.C. Gainey.

Django Unchained will arrive in theaters on December 25, 2012.
