10 Movie Directors Who Deserve Their Own Biopic

6. Roman Polanski

I swear I didn't plan this, but my next choice is Roman Polanski. The reason that is coincidental is because when Polanski was just eight years old, his parents were tragically imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp. His mother didn't survive the camp, but he and his father reunited a year later. As time went on, Polanski discovered a love for cinema, and began acting in films. He also directed short films and documentaries before eventually completing his feature debut, Repulsion, in 1965. After Repulsion, Polanski moved to Hollywood to release his first American film, Rosemary's Baby. One year later, tragically, Polanski's pregnant wife, actress Sharon Tate was murdered by the Manson family cult. The craziness doesn't stop there, people. Nearly a decade later, Polanski was arrested for the sexual abuse of a minor. He was found guilty of one charge, and spent six weeks at a prison psychiatric program. When he got out, he had more charges pending, but he decided to flee the United States. Everything just kind of worked itself out eventually, but those charges were hanging over his head for years. The biopic would span decades and tell multiple stories, so I'd like to see someone like Paul Thomas Anderson handle it.
