2012 Cannes Film Festival Predictions: Marina Zenovich’s Roman Polanski: Odd Man Out

Date:

Gist: A fitting title (Roman Polanski: Odd Man Out) as a sequel (Polanski has repeatedly cited the pic as his fave), Marina Zenovich explores the recent legal battle to bring Roman Polanski back to the U.S.

Prediction: Being readied for some time now, if Cannes presented Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired as a Special Screenings selection in 2008 then there is definite outside chance that the same section would host the update.
