Woody Allen, Pedro Almodovar and Martin Scorsese have "demanded the direct release" of fellow filmmaker Roman Polanski, who was arrested in Switzerland on a U.S. arrest warrant associated to a 1977 child sex charge.
They were among 138 people in the film commerce who signed a petition against the arrest.
Polanski was on the way to the Zurich Film Festival when Swiss police under arrest him in response to the American warrant.
The filmmaker pleaded guilty in 1977 to having unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor but fled before he could be sentenced. He matured in France, where he holds citizenship. Investigators in the United States say Polanski, then 43, drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl.
