Citizen Kane - November 19th - Blu-ray Forum

Yami · 08-29-2012, 07:18 PM

Orson Welles' Citizen Kane, widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever made, will finally be released in the UK by Universal on November 19th. Warner already released a region-free edition in the US last year.

adamhopelies · 08-29-2012, 07:46 PM

Interesting. Have had the Warner Box Set since release last year, but here's hoping for some new extra material.

MifuneFan · 08-29-2012, 07:47 PM

I'm amazed this didn't come out in the UK already.

The Apocalypse · 08-29-2012, 07:52 PM

Good news. It'd also be nice to get the new Casablanca edition over here sometime as well.

Buddy Ackerman · 08-29-2012, 08:46 PM

Fantastic news. Will definitely pick this up. Kept putting off importing and have been waiting for a UK release.

Yami · 08-29-2012, 08:55 PM

When I saw it, I was hoping that Universal might release The Magnificent Ambersons on the same day but sadly not. I got the Warner disc from the US so it'll take some mighty extras to get me to double dip.

Simon_LDT · 08-29-2012, 09:04 PM

Too late, imported the region free US release.

Universal will probably botch it up with DNR or something as well.

BluRayBond · 08-29-2012, 09:22 PM

Excellent. Day one for me.

AddemFlood · 08-29-2012, 09:25 PM

About damn time. Baffled why this hasn't been out before now, but I shall get it pending original price.

Suprisingly a really great film/narrative that doesn't seem like an old old film.

Got the US Digibook a while back so no thanks.

dallywhitty · 08-29-2012, 10:20 PM

FINALLY. I still haven't seen this all the way through.

The Englishman · 08-29-2012, 11:17 PM

If this is going to be released by Universal will it be apart of the 100th anniversary and will we gt a digibook??

Most likely not, since it's not a "Universal" made movie. They just have the rights in the UK. Oh well, looks like the chances of a Masters Of Cinema edition is gone.

DJJez · 08-30-2012, 12:12 AM

great for people that dont already have it. its gonna take something very special to beat the american digibook imo love that digibook

mattyl149 · 08-30-2012, 04:55 AM

The UK DVD had a lot of extras which weren't on the US blu-ray. Providing those are included on there or some other extra features not on the US disc, then I will double dip. I would like the TV movie included in the deluxe US boxset on the UK disc, as it was on Region 1 DVD, and I can't play multi region discs, which was the main reason I got the cheaper digibook release

I'm very interested in owning this on BR, but I'll wait a bit to pre-order until the extra's are known.
