[Avid-L2] OT - "The Ghost Writer"

FOUND THIS INTERESTING:

(CNN) -- You could call "The Ghost Writer" the Polanski film that almost wasn't.

Under the circumstances, it's a miracle that Roman Polanski's political thriller, which stars Pierce Brosnan and Ewan McGregor, even made it to the screen.

After the filmmaker was arrested in Switzerland last year -- while "The Ghost Writer" was in post production -- there was talk that another director might have to finish the feature.

That didn't happen -- but Polanski did end up editing the feature from his jail cell, according to the movie's stars.

"He would be in his nine-foot by four-foot cell, edit the movie and give it to the warden. The warden would give it to his lawyer [who would] then give it to the editor," Brosnan told CNN.
