Netflix releases mesmerizing trailer for Orson Welles' final film
Cinema's storied history is littered with projects that remain unfinished in various states. One such movie is (or at least, was) The Other Side of the Wind from the legendary Citizen Kane director Orson Welles. Netflix picked up the rights last year, and with the movie set to be released almost 50 years after production started on it, the captivating first trailer has arrived.
Netflix will help finish Orson Welles' last film
Netflix is normally focused on landing rights for hot upcoming projects. However, its latest coup is decidedly different -- it's a movie that's four decades overdue. The streaming service has acquired the rights to The Other Side of the Wind, an Orson Welles movie that has been stuck in production limbo since the 1970s. Two members of the original crew, star Peter Bogdanovich and production manager Frank Marshall, will help oversee the creative side of things alongside producer Filip Jan Rymsza. Netflix, as you might guess, is mainly around to finance and distribute the movie worldwide.
Citizen Kane Blu-ray up for preorder on Amazon
There's no official announcement from Warner yet, but Blu-ray.com points out the classic movie Citizen Kane has appeared for preorder on Amazon in full 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition dress. As shown in the picture above, there's plenty of collectibles included with a book, replica documents and extra discs with two hour documentary, HBO docudrama and Orson Welles' follow-up flick The Magnificent Ambersons on DVD. There's no release date listed yet and we still don't know everything about what extras will be present, but the current price is $49.99 (or, $45.49 minus Ambersons, which is apparently coming to DVD for the first time) if you want to jump in right now.
