Run for Your Life, Maximus
So apparently Roman Polanski is doing a costume epic / disaster movie, Pompeii. Variety's account is here. Seems an odd fit, but Polanski is nothing if not surprising.

What threw me a bit about the story was Variety's potted biography of Polanksi. I mean I know Variety is written for people who know full well who Polanski is, but who summarises his career like this?
Polanski, who won an Oscar for "The Pianist," last directed "Oliver Twist." He also played a supporting role in the Brett Ratner-directed "Rush Hour 3" for New Line.
I wonder if he gets to fight Jackie Chan.
