There’s something incredibly sexy about French actress Julie Delpy. She’s absolutely adorable in the Before Sunrise/Before Sunset movies and I’ll admit I have a bit of a crush on her and her characters.
Fangoria through Rope of Silicon are telling us that Delpy will star and direct The Countess, a vampire movie set in the 15th century of Transylvania. Delpy will play a sexy blood countess known as Erzsebet Bathory.
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.
Also in the flick will be Ethan Hawke who she undoubtedly beams with chemistry with every time they are together on screen. Vincent Gallo (who’s perfect fodder for this type of tale) and Radha Mitchell (the lead from Silent Hill) will also star.
You all know how I love my vampire movies and one with Julie Delpy no less, sounds uber fantastic. Shooting begins this summer on the flick in Eastern Europe.

I agree completely and beyond that, Bathory is a very interesting character. I’m assuming this is going to be a little more real than vampire flick but we’ll have to see.
I think Julie Delpy will make a great Elizabeth Bathory. There is another Bathory movie coming that stars Anna Friel. Hopefully both will be good, it’s about time the real story of Elizabeth Bathory got made into a movie. I am excited, I find Elizabeth Bathory fascinating. I just hope they stay true to the story and don’t throw in anything ridiculous that has nothing to do with the real, true story.
