So excited to announce today on @CNBC @SquawkCNBC with @andrewrsorkin that Showrunner is building a noncommercial & academic AI reconstruction of the lost holy grail of cinema: The lost 43 minutes of ORSON WELLES’ ruined masterpiece THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS

Hanser publishes the German translation next week. Have fun with it. (As you may know, the original—in American—won’t be out here till the spring. At which point Hanser will also release it under their imprint in Germany.)
