Fantastic Fest brings all kind of odd art to the front lines, and today it brought news of Citizen Jane, starring Michelle Rodriguez (Machete, Fast and the Furious).
Peter Sciretta of Slash Film notes the first mention of this flick came about a month back as part of the Fantastic Fest press release. Then posters appeared. Then came this teaser:

So obviously it’s a remake of Orson Welles’ iconic Citizen Kane.
