Juraj Jakubisko
Recently a lot of gossip and curiosity has been generated regarding his current project Báthory. The film stars Anna Friel as Elizabeth Báthory, a 16th-17th century Countess regarded as history's most prolific and bloodthirsty mass murderer. Famke Janssen was originally cast in the title role.
In addition to being Jakubisko's first English-language film, Báthory is reported be the most expensive motion picture production in the history of Czech or Slovak cinema, involving investments of numerous companies around Europe.
Báthory is scheduled for release in Czech Republic and Slovakia on July 4, 2008 at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival, and on September 11, 2008 in Hungary.
In 2007 it was reported that two former production staff members, Jan Milic and Karel Lupomesky, stole a copy of Báthory from studios in Prague and were threatening to release it on the Internet if they weren't given GB £12,000. They were soon apprehended and the film was recovered, apparently without being prematurely leaked online. After their trial, the pair were given eight and ten month suspended sentences for trying to blackmail producer Deana Jakubiskova-Horvathova [1].
