Rex Features

The studio behind The Twilight Saga has bought Roman Polanski's latest film.

According to The Hollywood Insider, Summit Entertainment picked up The Ghost Writer - the project Polanski was finishing while imprisoned in Switzerland on child molestation charges.

Summit, which also holds international distribution rights, will release the thriller starring Pierce Brosnan and Ewan McGregor during the first half of 2010.

Polanski is currently under house arrest at his chalet in Switzerland. He was arrested in Zurich in September on an international fugitive warrant for his sex crimes against 13-year-old Samantha Geimer in 1977.
