Polanski tapped to direct ‘Ghost’
From the Associated Press
Roman Polanski will direct a film adaptation of “The Ghost,” the bestselling political thriller by Robert Harris.
Random House Group, the book’s publisher, said Polanski and Harris were collaborating on a screenplay. Filming is due to begin in northern Europe next year.
The book’s narrator is a ghostwriter, hired to help a former British leader complete his memoirs, who becomes enmeshed in a web of espionage and political intrigue. It has caused ripples in Britain for its parallels to former Prime Minister Tony Blair, who has known Harris for 15 years.
