HBO Documentary Films acquired domestic rights for a documentary on the life of legendary filmmaker Roman Polanski. The film is currently in competition at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.

Thirty years after Polanski's conviction for unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired challenges many of the myths and presumptions behind the case, according to a press release. Among those interviewed in the film is Douglas Dalton, the filmmaker's attorney, who breaks his silence after 30 years to reveal new information.

The film was directed, written, and produced by Marina Zenovich, executive-produced by Steven Soderbergh and Randy Wooten, and produced by Jeffrey Levy-Hinte and Lila Yacoub. (The Advocate)
