Plot
The plot of the film is based on the novel.[3]
When a successful British ghostwriter, The Ghost, agrees to complete the memoirs of former British Prime Minister Adam Lang, his agent assures him it's the opportunity of a lifetime. But the project seems doomed from the start—not least because his predecessor on the project, Lang's long-term aide, died in an unfortunate accident. The Ghost flies out to work on the project, in the middle of winter, to an oceanfront house on an island off the U.S. Eastern seaboard. But the day after he arrives, a former British cabinet minister accuses Lang of authorizing the illegal seizure of suspected terrorists and handing them over for torture by the CIA—a war crime. The controversy brings reporters and protesters swarming to the island mansion where Lang is staying with his wife, Ruth, and his personal assistant (and mistress), Amelia. As The Ghost works, he begins to uncover clues suggesting his predecessor may have stumbled on a dark secret linking Lang to the CIA—and that somehow this information is hidden in the manuscript he left behind.

[edit] Production
Polanski had originally teamed with Robert Harris for a film of Harris's novel Pompeii. The film, to be produced by Summit Entertainment, was announced at the Cannes Film Festival in 2007 as potentially the most expensive European film ever made, but was cancelled as a result of the looming actor's strike that fall.
Polanski and Harris then turned to Harris's current bestseller, The Ghost. They co-wrote a script and Polanski announced filming for early 2008, with Nicolas Cage, Pierce Brosnan, Tilda Swinton, and Kim Cattrall starring. The film was then postponed by a year, with Ewan McGregor and Olivia Williams replacing Cage and Swinton.
The film began production in February 2009 in Germany, at the Babelsberg Studios in Potsdam, Straussberg Airport in Berlin and on the island of Sylt in the North Sea, which stood in for London and Martha's Vineyard due to Polanski's inability to legally travel to those places. In spite of his recent incarceration, Polanski has continued working on post-production from his house arrest in Switzerland. The film, retitled The Ghost Writer, is scheduled to premiere at the Berlin Film Festival on February 12, 2010.[5]
