Polanski ‘finishing film in jail’

Director Roman Polanski is finishing his latest film from jail, according to screenwriter Robert Harris.

Speaking at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, Harris said Polanski wanted to finish The Ghost in time for next February’s Berlin Film Festival.

Polanski was arrested in Switzerland last month over his 1977 conviction for unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl.
