Delpy To Helm Bathory
Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy are in final negotiations to star in the supernatural-tinged Bathory, which Delpy will also helm in her feature-film directorial debut from her own script, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Bauer Martinez will finance, produce and distribute the movie, based on the legendary Elizabeth Bathory, who inspired many a vampire myth with sadistic rituals that included bathing in the blood of virgins, the trade paper reported.

Well, that about sums it up. :D
I have always been interested in the story though. That was one seriously deranged woman. And creative, let's not forget creative.

If I remember right, back in the early '70's there was a movie based on Bathory's life called (I think) "Countess Dracula". I believe it was a Hammer film. It's been a hell of a long time since I've seen it, so I don't remember much about it. other than it being the typical Hammer Horror blood and Babes.

Yes it was Countess Dracula. And there was also another movie around the same time,I can't remember the name of it. It had Bathory as a vampire traveling with her lesbian lover, they seduce a husband and wife. What the hell is the name of that movie? My ex-boyfriend loved that movie....can't imagine why.
But Countess Dracula was a good movie as I remember. Ingrid Pitt as the Countess. Been awhile since I have seen it myself.

That sounds like it would be an interesting film. The story about Bathory has always been interesting to me. Hopefully, this film won't be bad.

You know....I was wondering were he was too.. Maybe somebody should check up on him. It's not like him to miss out on an Ingrid Pitt mention.
