Carl Icahn Now Wants ALL Of Lionsgate
Fat chance that will happen any time soon. Not when the man has a funded movie to direct. It’s a shame he can’t and won’t return, but if I had to choose between Roman coming back to solve this (which will lead to him being imprisoned) and making more films before he dies, I choose the films.
good
DWSReader,
Well, the reason you choose films is because you’re a moron or maybe because you also like 13 year old girls, please crawl back in your hole.
He can schedule his return for after the production, and the courts will accommodate him.
He a talent, but also a pedophile, time doesn’t change that. let him stay where he is.
Why should he allowed to evade justice? because he happens to be famous, rich and successful?
Anyone who saw that documentary about him that played at Sundance last year knows how corrupt the LA police were in this whole debacle. Polanski was going to do the time but then the asshole in charge bragged that he was going to completely go back on his word and throw Polanski in the clink for the rest of his life. So of course Polanski got the fuck out of Dodge. The asshole DA should have been kicked off the gig then and there. It’s Chinatown indeed.
Wake up, Mahogany, and smell reality.
The documentary was loaded in favor of Roman. ONly the L.A. Daily Journal had the whole story. The 13-year-old rape victim only came out in support of Roman years later after he gave her big money to settle her civil suit. The documentary conveniently left that fact out.
Mahogony – “go back on his word”? Or enforce the law? Don’t blame the DA for what he did in that hot tub.
- oral, vaginal and anal sex forced upon a 13 year old who he fed a combination of champagne and quaaludes. More accurately, that’s what he did, but he was able to plead to a lesser crime.
Originally he was charged with “rape by use of drugs, perversion, sodomy, lewd and lascivious act upon a child under 14, and furnishing a controlled substance (methaqualone) to a minor”, he plead guilty to “engaging in unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.” This is all documented and is not in dispute.
He disputes none of this…but he makes good films so you guys like him. DISGUSTING.
He’s hardly a pedo. The girl was a slut who was a regular on the party circuit and fucked several big named celebs, now she admits her mistake and wants Polanski back into the US.
Wow Mooki, surfing the web at 4am and calling a 13 year old a slut. You are the man!
At this point, Roman Polanski’s crime is irrelevant. When a judge can convict a criminal of one offense and sentence them for another, the justice system has gone haywire.
If there was a problem with Polanski’s plea bargain, the prosecution should not have accepted it. It’s not up to the courts to adjust a sentence because someone feels the conviction wasn’t for a severe enough crime!
That’s not justice, and if I felt I were at the hands of a judicial system with it’s mind on something other than justice, I’d run too.
Just makes LAPD look stupid for still trying to go after him. They got a lot BIGGER crime to deal with in LA.
Since when does a “documentary” become evidence in a criminal case?
I agree with David. Since when does a documentary clearly slanted towards Polanski become evidence. The man confessed, he chose to run. Nothing should change that but serving his sentence. He was not the victim.
I think the only thing the L.A. liberals are upset about is that Polanski did this to a girl and not a boy, because they can’t scream about gay rights.
To add to David: this was a crime against society. Simply because the victim wants it dropped in no way means it should be.
I have always enjoyed his movies but he still deserves jail-time for his crime. Its incredible that people can defend him any way. As well as trash the victim.
so if the president or any other “establishment” figure committed the same crime, would anyone really defend him? much less make a movie about him, and his possible unjust treatment by the “system?”
it is so depressing and disturbing how movie and/or music stars are defended when they get caught with their hand in the proverbial immoral/unethical/criminal cookie jar. Its as if one set of standards applies to the rich, famous, & talented. Its as if the victim is the crime, and the criminal is the victim.
really really sad…
If the judge did a 180 and changed the plea bargain deal, then why not just have Polanski return to the US and spend the original time in jail that he agreed to?
Oh, I remember now. It’s because he’s above the law. Yeah, that’s right.
