Anna Friel will be seen on the big screen next in the movie Bathory. It is the story of a Hungarian countess, Elizabeth Bathory, who was said to have killed 600 girls, thus earning her the nickname Countess Dracula. Her lifestory has inspired countless of legends where the countess supposedly drank blood from virgins to retain a youthful glory.

The role of Elizabeth Bathory was originally meant for actress Famke Janssen. Anna Friel’s daughter, Gracie, will also be part of the film and this would have to be her own film debut.

The film began production in early 2006 but is only set for release on March 5, 2008 in Hungary. It will also be shown in countries like Bosnia-Herzegovina, Lebanon, Poland, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Thailand, USA, Czech Republic and Slovakia this year.

Bathory is the first English-language film of director Juraj Jakubisko and is considered as the most expensive Slovak movie, with a budget of US $12M.

Below is the film’s trailer:

    OMG!!!! (as the kiddies like to say) This is fantastic, I have always been fascinated by the story of Elizabeth Bathory. Incidentally, her actual name was Ezrabeth, but it has been anglicized for so long that everyone just goes with Elizabeth…

    Hooray!!!!

    Thanks for that bit of info! :) Looking forward to the film as well. I hope I can find a way to watch it since I’m pretty sure it’s going to be on a very limited run. I find her story fascinating as well.

    Risking that I appear to be a smartarse, her name was actually Erzsébet (in Hungarian) or Alzbeta (in Slovakian). Now you know.

About Pushing Daisies

As its teasers say, Pushing Daisies is "nothing like you've seen on television". Besides being visually stimulating and audibly captivating, the story behind this whimsical TV series from ABC, is one that seems to jump out pages of a fairy tale. Created by Bryan Fuller, Pushing Daisies is hailed by critics as a commendable risk that may actually pay off. It has romance, tragedy, comedy, mystery and of course, lest we forget, pies…lots and lots of it.
