Electronically monitored chalet-dweller Roman Polanski will have a little something extra to celebrate at one of his court-sanctioned house parties this weekend: Summit Entertainment today picked up the American distribution for The Ghost Writer, the Pierce Brosnan- and Ewan McGregor-starring film (about a former British prime minister writing his memoirs) that Polanski was still working on at the time of his apprehension (it’s done now, we assume). Summit, of course, is best known as the studio that made a mint selling Twilight movies to teenage girls. Sadly, we were unable to think of a joke for the end of this post.
