What happened to JFK when he visited Dallas on November 22, 1963? Was he the victim of a single assassin or was there a giant conspiracy to end Camelot with a single bullet? Olive Stone looked into the conspiracy from the perspective of New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison (Yellowstone‘s Kevin Coster). He investigated the case after the Warren Report seemed rather like a cover up. After releasing JFK Revisited: The Complete Collection, Shout Studios is giving us JFK in 4K UHD for both the Theatrical Release and the Director’s Cut. The boxset also contains both versions on Blu-ray and a disc of bonus features. Here’s the press release from Shout! Studios with all the details:
