Washington
(ANI):
Incarcerated
filmmaker
Roman
Polanski
is
completing
his
latest
movie
The
Ghost
in
jail,
his
friend
Robert
Harris
has
revealed.
The
76-year-old
has
been
behind
bars
in
Zurich,
Switzerland
since
26
September
(09),
when
he
was
detained
in
connection
to
a
1977
child
sex
crime.
However,
Harris,
who
penned
the
screenplay
of
the
film,
insists
that
Polanski
has
come
up
with
a
way
to
finalise
his
next
film
ahead
of
its
scheduled
premiere
at
the
Germany's
Berlin
Film
Festival
in
February
(10).
Polanski,
who
completed
the
editing
of
the
film
on
the
day
of
his
arrest,
is
keeping
in
touch
with
his
colleagues
for
help
and
has
even
passed
on
instructions
for
the
musical
score
to
composer
Alexandre
Desplat
from
jail.
"He
can
make
his
wishes
known
from
his
cell.
I
don't
think
he
can
make
phone
calls,
but
he
can
communicate," Contactmusic
quoted
Harris
as
saying.
However,
the
author
fears
that
the
movie
film
will
be
lost
in
the
controversy
surrounding
Polanski.
"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," he
said.
In
the
film,
Pierce
Brosnan
plays
the
role
British
prime
minister
accused
of
war
crimes
in
The
Ghost,
which
also
has
Ewan
MCGregor
and
Kim
Cattrall.
