Rosemary's Baby and Chinatown helmer Roman Polanski is apparently weighing up his legal options, after he was arrested in Switzerland on a 32-year-old charge of statutory rape. In a statement, his Los Angles attorney's said: "We were unaware of any extradition being sought, and separate counsel will be retained for those proceedings," which basically means they were caught on the hop. Polanski has been in Switzerland many times before and even has a house there, so his arrest, and possible extradition to the US has come as a massive surprise. According to Variety, Polanski was scheduled to receive the Zurich Film Festival's Golden Eye award for lifetime achievement when he was pinched at Zurich Airport. For those that didn't know, Polanski was arrested in 1977 after allegedly drugging a 13-year-old aspiring model and having sex with her. When he plea-bargained a deal with the court, the judge refused to play ball. New evidence in the HBO documentary Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired, revealed misconduct by Santa Monica Judge Laurence A. Rittenband, who tried to renege on the plea bargain that saw Polanski serve 42 days in jail. When he heard this was happening, he bounced from America and has never returned. No word on if the extradition is going ahead soon, or if the director will fight it, making it last months. He just wrapped The Ghost, with Pierce Brosnan and Ewan McGregor.
