A long ago it was reported about a new film about the 15th-century Transylvanian “Blood Countess” Erzsebet Bathory, to star and be directed by actress Julie (THE LEGEND OF LUCY KEYES) Delpy.
Now word has come down that the movie, currently known as THE COUNTESS, will finally get rolling this summer in Eastern Europe. Co-starring with Delpy are Radha (PITCH BLACK) Mitchell, Ethan Hawke and Vincent (TROUBLE EVERY DAY) Gallo, and she’s also producing with Matthew Chausse and HOOD OF HORROR’s Christopher Tuffin and Martin Shore. The film will focus on the true facts regarding Bathory, who bathed in the blood of murdered girls in an attempt to retain her youth, as opposed to previous features that extrapolated more literal vampire tales out of them.
