A special “JFK” showing tonight at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood will feature a Q & A with Stone.

Other limited runs will continue in select cities through December 8. “JFK 50 Year Commemorative Ultimate Collector’s Edition” debuts today. It includes “JFK: To the Brink,” Chapter 6 of Stone’s Showtime series (and now a WBHE Blu-ray) “The Untold Story of the United States,” which will also be shown immediately before each theatrical screening.

Kennedy: Years of Lightning, Day of Drums.” Stone directed from a screenplay he wrote with Zachary Sklar.
