ROMAN POLANSKI has "agreed to participate" in BRETT RATNER's forthcoming sequel to a controversial documentary about the ROSEMARY'S BABY director.
Ratner announced on Sunday (27Sep09) he will be producing a sequel to Marina Zenovich's 2008 documentary, Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired

- about the moviemaker's refusal to return to the U.S. since he fled in 1977 after pleading guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl.
Polanski was taken into custody on Saturday (26Sep09) on a 1978 U.S. warrant, issued after his plea. The acclaimed director fled the U.S. before he was sentenced, and later settled in France.
Ratner, who cast Polanski as a French detective in Rush Hour 3, told BlogTalkRadio, "The family has forgiven (Polanski). The victim has forgiven him. The rest of the world has forgiven him. The L.A. judicial system is corrupt. It's horrible." Polanski fled the U.S. claiming the judge reneged on a plea bargain.
His lawyer Herve Temime says the filmmaker plans to fight possible extradition back to the United States, telling reporters: "He is in a fighting mood and determined to defend himself."
