Trouble never seems to end for poor Roman Polanski. The director of "The Pianist", "Chinatown" and "Rosemary's Baby" (among many others) was arrested by Swiss authorities at the airport yesterday while in town to accept and award at the Zurich Film Festival. He now faces possible extradition to the U.S. for charges involving his flight from the country in 1978 following charges (and a guilty plea) of sex with a minor. 

Polanski recently made a formal request to have the case dismissed based on misconduct by the judge at the time. The victim in the case, Samantha Geimer, has stated she would like the case to be dismissed as well. But it seems Swiss authorities have decided to take matters into their own hands. It will be interesting to see how U.S. authorities will respond. 

There is an excellent documentary on Polanski and the case called "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired". If you haven't seen it, you should check it out.
