Notably, Isabelle Huppert is currently in Vienna for the filming of a movie about the infamous «Blood Countess» Elizabeth Báthory. According to legend, the 16th-century Hungarian countess killed over 600 virgin girls and bathed in their blood to stay eternally young. She is also listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most prolific female serial killer of all time.

The Blood Countess is expected to be released in Austrian cinemas in 2026.
