I've been watching a lot of that Roman Polanski docu on HBO and have to admit that it's pretty interesting. Whether you're disturbed about older men having sexual relations with er, younger er, girls or interested in the court's improper handling of the case, it gives one a better understanding on why the director will likely be living abroad for the rest of his life.
Directing from Europe, Polanski has convinced Pierce Brosnan, Tilda Swinton and Nicolas Cage into leaving the states for The Ghost.
Polanski Gets Nicolas Cage, Tilda Swinton and Pierce Brosnan for The Ghost
In The Ghost, Cage will play a ghostwriter hired abruptly to finish the memoirs of an ex-British prime minister after the first scribe turned up dead. The ghostwriter's research leads him to uncover skeletons in the politician's closet that put the writer's life in danger.
Swinton will play the wife of the former prime minister (Brosnan). Her marriage is crumbling, and she falls for the writer.
Roman Polanski will direct The Ghost off a script by him and Robert Harris; who wrote the political thriller's source material.
Cage is set to star in a remake of Bad Lieutenant, which is set to begin filming late summer. Swinton's been busy filming I Am Love while Brosnan is prepping to arrive to theaters this summer with Mamma Mia!
