Roman Polanski fled to France in 1978 after pleading guilty to having unlawful sex with a 13-year-old girl. But now his adopted country is shunning his new movie.

,” a black comedy that takes place at a posh hotel in the Swiss Alps resort of Gstaad, where he is currently shooting, has been unable to find any French financing, as Polanski’s producer, Italian multi-hyphenate Luca Barbareschi, bemoans.

But he didn’t expect France to shut Polanski out, and still hopes the French industry will embrace the film. . They have already closed deals with unspecified distributors in Germany and Spain. Now they need to close more.

Crimen es violar a una nena de 13 años pedofilo hijo de puta

Ok

You misspelled 'child rapist is miffed that people think said child rapists project won't make them much money( given that he is a child rapist)' Or maybe I'm wrong. But either way, you had other options for headlines.

She’s right and she should say it

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Hoping other countries will start to do same 'crime' but I won't hold my breath.

Madmordo02 e só demorou 50 anos pra perceberem!

oh man wait til roman polanski finds out what actual crimes are

And he’d know a thing or two about crime.

molesting teenagers is an actual crime, unlike this

I just searched his name + 'crime' and oddly this is not what the results were about.

Nobody want to support a violent child rapist.

Someone should also probably check on the children in the producer's life.

The fact that 'Roman Polanski's new film' is a thing that gets to exist at all in the first place is fucking absurd.

Y’all, “unlawful sex” is called rape

You mad Nick?

Even if he had no scandals in his past, nobody (especially in this industry) has a justified sense of entitlement to anything. That's the way it goes, very few are popular in a long term sense. Beloved today, forgotten tomorrow. He is no different. Even if he had no scandals...

A crime, you say

pedo

A crime, you say

And he knows a thing or two about crime.

It’s a crime he’s been making films and not rotting in jail for the crimes he’s committed!

Why's Variety quoting the producer of a child rapist?

Won't somebody think of the rapists!?!?!

Awwwwww. Poor thing

You know what actually is a crime?

Boo fucking hoo. Come back to America and face the music.

He could move back to the United States and try to line up financing and distribution in Hollywood. And maybe go to jail.

Nah, I'm glad they're finally shutting him down. I think he got a lot of passes because of what happened to Sharon for a while but it doesn't excuse what he did.

Earth is healing 🙏

So who 'owns' all the money anyway? I always thought it was a commodity, not a fricking economic brain tumor. Polanski's sore about not getting his way. We all are.

Maybe he should return to the US and discuss what crimes have happened...

you know what else is a crime

Well raping underage girls is definitely a crime.

Hey, variety maybe it's useful to put in the headline WHY a convicted rapist is having trouble selling his work

That's crazy but the link is broken. Look up 'Roman Polanski crime' to find the article

Delete this.

Well, I mean, he DOES know a thing or 2 about crimes...

Boo hoo, the child rapist is a turn off in the country he fled to to avoid prosecution.

Polanski should probably promote his film in person in the United States, just saying.

rare france W

Roman knows plenty about committing crimes.

The audacity

HMMMMMMMMMMMM..............

Speaking of crime

Good.

He made a new film? ANYONE who works, socialises, romances, befriends this man condones his past behaviour!

I mean. 50 years too late but man. Glad they’re getting rid of him.

Oh no!! It’s CRIMINAL! You can’t HIDE this under a bushel! This ASSAULT on art cannot stand.

Who wants to tell his producer what the actual crime was?

I hope the next chick bites off his whole package.

Talking about crimes, Roman ...

For more information, Google “Roman Polanski crime”

Hahahaha. Guess what else is a crime?

Aaaaah mais je comprends tout... tu n'as donc pas la même définition de crimes que le reste du monde. C'est pour ça !

Idk maybe not raping child would have helped.

You are never gonna believe what else is a crime……

I know other crimes…Drugging and having sexual intercourse with a minor for instance.

'poor me,' cried the pedophile

Roman, let me tell you what a fucking crime is...

I mean, if any film director would know about crimes, it'd be the one convicted of them. Huh, wonder what his crime was, I'm sure it was a technicality and not one of the most universally agreed on terrible things someone can do, right? hm

Is Polanski still wanted for sex crimes in the USA 🤔

I can think of worse crimes.

For some reason, I think the same amount of people who are clamoring for another Roman Polanski film are the same number of folks who unironically voted for Harambe in 2016.

Oh, boo hoo🤦🏼‍♀️

Rape is also a crime, and by 'also' I mean 'actually'.

'his adopted country' lmao who and what wanted to be adopted by though?

And he knows What he talkin about when he says crime

Oh man, what a huge pain in the ass! 🙄

oh wow crime, eh... and why did roman polanski adopt france as his new country again

Fuck Roman Polanski

oh no not crime

it’s a crime...yes IT was and still is.

You know what else is a crime?

The crime is Polanski still being able to do movies. He belongs in jail!

Didn't know this man was so pressed about the law

Maybe he could get Prince Andrew to privately fund it.

He would know

The real crime is that Polanski isn't in a shallow grave by the side of a road 🤷

I can think of a few crimes Polanski should have to deal with first.

I can think of a much more serious crime that might be relevant in this case.

Crime, eh?

France is harboring a rapist but won’t release Polanski’s latest film

Adopted country you mean the country he fled to toescape prosecution for being a sexual predator?

Speaking of a crime.....👉👌🙍‍♀️👆

He sounds like he needs a reality check.

If any director knows about crime, it's ol Roman.

Oh, so the child rapist has thoughts on crime!

Too bad. So sad.

So is fleeing to avoid prosecution for rape

Oh, Roman Polanski believes in crimes now?

... well, ain't karma a bitch.

it sad it took the french savages this long

Oh? Well since we're on the subject of crime.....

Interesting choice of words. Maybe he should go to America, sell the film to the studios in person. I'm sure it would go well.

Hey, you know what else is a crime?

Ya know what else was a crime….

HOLY SHIT THAT QUOTE.

Why's he in France?

I don't think Polanski should be talking about crimes...

World's. Smallest. Violin. 🎻

Googles 'Roman Polanski crime' 👀

“It’s a crime.” Irony is dead.

A crime is raping underaged girls, not this rapist's film not getting released. The sheer nerve of this guy and anyone who continues to enable him.

what crime is roman polanski guilty of

We are becoming a society that will no longer tolerate predators thriving without consequences for the traumas they inflict exponentially on society. I am speaking this into being.

Man, I better Google Roman Polanski + crime to find out what's happening.

Can someone link me to the study that shows when a person does something egregious they are absolutely unable to make good art anymore?

He fucked a 13-year-old girl in the ass and lived in luxury for five decades. His feelings are of no concern to me.

We don’t need it.

Rare French Ws

Why didn't they do this like decades ago?! The man ADMITS to being an absolute creepy horrible rapist but people are like 'his movies are so good tho ' him and his movies can burn in hell.

Very rare France W

Plenty of great films never get released or even purchased by distributors. Plenty. Nothing new, rare or abnormal about that at all

Boohoo chomo we don’t care, get back here and serve your prison sentence

Roman the rapist?

Oh it must be so hard to be an internationally famous child rapist

nobody wants to see movie from a rapist

Guess what else is a crime

Johnny depp’s friend. IStandWithAmberHeard JusticeForAmberHeard

Hey you know what else is a crime?

I wonder what crimes Polanski committed

Probably because he's a criminal?

Polanski lives in Switzerland not France since X years, correct

Do you know what else is a crime?

A crime you say? 🤔

Boo hoo

This would not be a crime. A crime is, say, when a 43 year old rapes a 13 year old, Roman.

Hey while we're talking about crimes and Roman Polanski...........

Guy shocked even France won't defend his sexual crimes

Speaking of crimes... visit the USA lately? Why not?

Cry me a fucking river.

I'll tell you what IS a crime

Sounds like justice to me.

If we cancel him, we are going to have to cancel all the fugitive paedophiles

'It's a crime'

Polanski complaining about things being crimes is a box he may not want to open

A crime he says? I think I know of a crime that was committed in his immediate vicinity.

Raping a kid stain doesn't go away and I wouldn't even watch his movies.

Roman’s producer was then heard to say “Oh, hold on. What is this? *muffled noises* “I don’t know…” *more muffled noises* “I..” *through a full mouth* “my foot appears to be in my mouth for some reason. I can’t remove it!” *muffled screaming*

What's criminal is that he hasn't been extradited and convicted.

Waaaaa

Ya know what else is a crime?

Roman Polanski would know a thing or two about what’s a crime.

Stupid choice of words

Unbelievable. 🙄🙄

A “crime” you say?

I know what is a crime…

😂

Wow, he's just that old now he's baiting people with shit like that. It's a crime....in his 'adopted' country.

Rapist Polanski can go to hell

Polanski certainly knows about crimes

Poor guy. Give him a break, geez...

Is it though…?

Les Africains et européens d'aujourd'hui n'ont pas connu cette période et on leur monte le bourrichon avec ça. Insensé.
