As previously reported, Warner Brothers will be releasing 'Gone with the Wind: 70th Anniversary Ultimate Collector's Edition' on Tuesday, and Target stores will have an exclusive edition.

One of the greatest films of all time will debut in a remastered high-definition edition on November 17 .

“You're going to see, hear and experience so much more with this Blu-ray edition,” said Jeff Baker, WHV Executive Vice President and General Manager, Theatrical Catalog. Viewing Gone with the Wind again on Blu-ray is like seeing it for the first time. You're brought into the saga of the war torn Tara so intensely, you feel as if all the characters literally come alive. At times, I felt as if I was on the set standing next to the camera watching Gable and Leigh as the whole scene unfolded."

Specs and supplements have yet to be revealed, but it appears this release will contain the same discs as the Ultimate Edition without all of the swag.


The price for the Target exclusive Blu-ray has been set at $34.99.
