Sounds like a “win-win” to me.
A general view shows the chalet 'Milky Way', which is, according to Swiss newspapers, the chalet of Oscar-winning film director Roman Polanski in the Swiss mountain resort of Gstaad September 30, 2009. Lawyers for Polanski lodged an appeal with a Swiss court on Tuesday against his arrest on a U.S. extradition warrant to face sentence for having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977.

So another person signs up in support of child rape.
Wow! So some director is pulling a film idolizing a Nazi collaborator because the Swiss have thrown a rapist in jail. Okay.
I can just all those despondent Swiss hurling themselves off the mountain tops at this development.
Really, these arteeests need to get over themselves.
That’s right bringing a sicko to justice for doping, raping and sodomizing a 13 year old girl is a travesty... a travesty I say... it most be stopped.
“Your sins will find you out”.
With Polanski, it’s better late than never!
I'm heart broken. How will I ever live?
Good, now cancel the whole stupid conference. The spoiled brats should be thankful they still have a place to live, instead of telling us alll how great they are.
Really a stupid thing to do.
1. supporting a sex pervert labels you as questionable at least.
2. Borrowing money to make a film, and then destroying it’s chances for success deliberately over a sex pervert sure does put a mark on you for the banks to never lend you a penny in the future.
What a total putz.
Polanski needs to spend the rest of his life in jail.
well, I guess he showed them :P
He pulled his film? Wow - THAT’LL leave a mark!
Pullit
And let another pedophile go down in the dust
