Julie Delpy is the ‘Blood Countess’
Indie actress gets her hands bloody
My experience with Julie Delpy includes Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and her small part in Broken Flowers, and with those three films taken into consideration I never would have imagined that I would be reporting on a story in which she would be starring as the 15th-century Transylvanian “Blood Countess” Erzsebet Bathory, but according to Fangoria that is exactly the case.
The site is reporting that the long gestating feature to star and be directed by Delpy is set and ready to get underway with the title The Countess and shooting ready to get started this summer in Eastern Europe.
Along with Delpy the film will star Radha Mitchell, Ethan Hawke and Vincent Gallo. The story 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.
