Roman Polanski committed rape back in 1977, but his arrest in Switzerland in 2009 brought the case to the fore again. In 2010 we saw a public statement by Polanski in which he cast himself as the victim, and, eventually, his release. His extradition in 2011 seems like too much to hope for — unless, that is, he ventures to England or Italy. This may be a quiet year for him, though he'll be back in the news in 2012 with the release of God of Carnage.
