Tom Neuwirth aka Conchita Wurst, the drag queen who won the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest, will star opposite Isabelle Huppert in 'The Blood Countess.'

Tom Neuwirth aka Conchita Wurst, the bold Austrian bearded diva who won the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest, will make her acting debut in a twisted vampire mystery, “The Blood Countess,” starring opposite Isabelle Huppert. Ottinger, whose best known films include “Madame X – An Absolute Ruler,” “Ticket of No Return” and “Freak Orlando,” said “This is the right time for the Blood Countess to wake up from her deep sleep and savor the present” because “The world is upside down and events are repeating themselves in an eerie way.” Magnify’s slate also includes Gastón Solnicki’s “The Souffleur” starring Willem Dafoe; “Filipiñana,” a first-time feature by Rafael Manuel (with Film4); Berlin Generation winner “TheBotanist” directed by newcomer Jing Yi.
