Friends For Roman

Roman Polanski's arrest in Switzerland has put his latest film “The Ghost,” on indefinite hold says The Hollywood Reporter.



The film--Pierce Brosnan stars as fictional former British leader--Ewan McGregor is a ghostwriter hired to help complete his memoirs.

Shot earlier this year in Germany and France pic still requires several months of post-production work before being ready for theatres.

Polanski's agent said editing was mostly complete but music scoring and sound mixing among other work has yet to be done.

The project marks the first Polanski movie with a U.S. setting since 1974's Chinatown Germany stood in for the story's New England settings.

US distribution has yet to be lined up, Polanski usually finishes his films before that's been established.

With Woody Allen, Alejandro Gonzalez, Martin Scorsese, David Lynch, Wong Kar Wai, Harmony Korine, Stephen Frears, Alexander Payne, Michael Mann, Wim Wenders, Tilda Swinton Peter Fonda, Pedro Almodovar Whoopi Goldberg Monica Bellucci and a lot of Hollywood embracing Polanski‎ A Cinema Blend Rant reminds us rightly so...Polanski's Great Movies Don't Excuse Child Rape .... The fact that lots of industry types defend Polanski is not a shock__I say let the judicial system play out now and see where it leads us.
