Director Series: Roman Polanski

The Movie Geeks trace the extraordinary life and career of acclaimed filmmaker Roman Polanski with special guests including director Brett Ratner (Rush Hour); Bobbie O'Steen, the wife of Polanski's late editor Sam O'Steen (Chinatown, Rosemary's Baby, Frantic); cinematography great William A. Fraker (Rosemary's Baby); and critic Keith Uhlich. Also featured will be highlights from the Geeks’ January 2008 interview with Marina Zenovich, director of the 2008 docu Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired. During the two-hour special, Ratner—who cast Polanski as a French detective in 2007’s Rush Hour 3—reveals that he’s producing a sequel to Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired. “Marina’s such a brilliant filmmaker…I’m lucky to be working with her,” he tells us, adding: “Because now it’s really more about the outcome of what’s happened since, Roman has agreed to participate.” To read more about Ratner’s take on Polanski, click here.
