So, in case you've been living under a rock... 76 year old, director Roman Polanski is still in swiss prison awaiting trial for those illicit sex with a minor charges from 1978 he ran away from ages ago. ( I think if he gets out... he should a make a movie about this.. it's a 2 hour film all by itself!!!)
However, this isn't deterring Polanski from finishing his film we've been hearing about, The Ghost. It is said that Polanski WILL finish the project... from jail. Aceshowbiz reports, "he's already given instructions on the film's score." Well, if he can finish directing a film from behind bars... I say give this guy an Oscar for just being the most badass director yet... haha until Steven Speilberg finishes a movie from prison or lost at sea or whatever... Roman-- you got my vote! Now, Let's just hope there aren't any reshoots... :(
Word on how Polanski is communicating with composer Alexandre Desplat or any of the other post-production staff still isn't clear. The film screenwriter, Robert Harris is even unsure...
"He can make his wishes known from his cell. I don't think he can make phone calls, but he can communicate. What people think of the film is another matter. Whether the film can rise above the circumstances in which the director now finds himself I don't know. We will test to the upper limits the notion that there's no such thing as bad publicity."
The film, starring Pierce Brosnan, Ewan McGregor, and Kim Cattrall is scheduled for a screening at the Berlin Film Festival this February, but I think the Director will be absent... Poor Roman... the past always comes back to bite you in the ass.
