Tilda Swinton to return to Vienna for 'Blood Countess' movie

Oscar winner Tilda Swinton will return to Austria this year to shoot a new movie, it has emerged.

The British actress will star alongside French star Isabelle Huppert in a film about Hungarian serial killer Elizabeth Bathory, known as the "Blood Countess".

Austrian media have reported shooting will take place at Vienna’s famous Prater amusement park. Austrian Kurt Mayer will produce the movie, while German Ulrike Ottinger will be in the director’s seat.

Swinton visited Austria last October to attend the Viennale Film Festival. Hotel Sacher bosses have described her as a "perfect and totally uncomplicated" guest who did not made a single special request during her stay at the five-star hotel.
