UPDATE: Yes, 87-year-old director Roman Polanski keeps making movies, and all the better for it. Americans have never seen the incredible “An Officer and A Spy,” Polanski’s last movie, because no American distributor would dare touch it in this the #MeToo era.
In late January we were getting word that Polanski was set to direct another film, this one titled “The Palace,” with a story set entirely on December 31st, 1999 in a Swiss hotel. There was confirmation that production would start in March on the film.
We can now confirm that Polanski has indeed started shooting “The Palace” with actors Joaquim de Almeida, Catherine Deneuve and John Cleese. Earlier this year Mia Farrow and Emmanuelle Seigner were also rumoured to be part of the cast, no word yet on whether they are part of it.
