Any word on an American release?

Very interesting that Eureka clearly has a distribution deal with Fox for the UK, which is resulting in these very old catalog titles coming to Blu-Ray. This is a very good and positive thing because we are very, very unlikely to see WIZARDS, PRINCE VALIANT or that Tony Curtis flick on Blu in this country Paul.

I would import it if you are interested.

Is it region coded?

PRINCE VALIANT and BLACK SHIELD aren't, so I wouldn't expect WIZARDS to be. They're also pretty affordable as well, 12 GBP or so (or less on the other two) via Amazon UK.

Might as well throw HIGHLANDER in there and make it worthwhile

Just got my copy in of the Blu-Ray. Nice work by Eureka with a few extra goodies --

-Isolated music/FX score
-Commentary (from the Fox US DVD)
-Decent AVC encoded transfer w/DTS MA stereo sound
-all the other US DVD extras (Wizard of Animation featurette, two trailers, TV spots, still galleries)

And not region encoded for those who need it!
