Behind bars, Polanski working on movie

LONDON: Director Roman Polanski is finishing work on his latest film from a Swiss jail where he is fighting extradition to the United States on a 1977 sex charge, writer Robert Harris was quoted as saying on Wednesday.

Harris, who wrote the screenplay for the movie, The Ghost, told The Times newspaper that Polanski wanted to finish the movie in time for its planned premiere at the Berlin film festival in February.

"He (Polanski) can make his wishes known from his cell. I don't think he can make phone calls, but he can communicate," Harris told The Times.
