It's The End Of The World, Roman Polanski Style!!
Well, then.
ROMAN POLANSKI’S POMPEII.
Gotta say, I’m interested. A $130 million period disaster film that’s modeled in part on CHINATOWN. I really loved both THE PIANIST and OLIVER TWIST, and I think Polanski’s in the middle of a late-career resurgence that is impressive and enormously entertaining. Can’t wait to see what kind of cast he puts together for this, and how soon we’ll get to see it in theaters.
Bring it on!
