I can’t believe I forgot to post this. It’s kind of old news now but huge news all the same. I mean, Citizen Kane is only the best movie ever, according to a million “Best” and “Top” this-or-that movie lists and 100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Oh yeah, and I just happen to think it’s pretty awesome too! And now, thanks to Warner it’s finally making its high-def debut. The studio will unleash their new 4K restoration of the film on Blu-ray this September 13th, in a boxed set that also includes the Oscar nominated feature-length doc, The Battle Over Citizen Kane as well as the HBO film RKO 281, both on DVD. Amazon has a special bundle that also includes Orson Welles‘ famously hacked-and-slashed follow-up to Kane, The Magnificent Ambersons on DVD, in its studio-edited 88-minute cut.
