    Looks like it is due 4/30/19 and will contain Fantomas, Fantomas Unleashed and Fantomas vs. Scotland Yard.

    Pierre Souvestre's Fantí´mas was originally adapted for the screen by legendary filmmaker Louis Feuillade (Les vampires) in 1913. André Hunebelle (OSS 117: Mission for a Killer) introduced a revamped and modernized version of Fantí´mas to the 1960s OSS 117 and 007 audience. All three films starred the great Jean Marais (Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast) as Fantí´mas, a criminal mastermind and man of a thousand faces. The three films co-starred Louis de Funí¨s as Le commissaire Juve, Mylí¨ne Demongeot as Hélí¨ne, Jacques Dynam as L'inspecteur Bertrand and Robert Dalban as Le directeur du journal. The first film, Fantomas (Fantí´mas), was released in 1964, followed by Fantomas Unleashed (Fantí´mas se déchaí®ne) in 1965 and Fantomas vs. Scotland Yard (Fantí´mas contre Scotland Yard) in 1967. All three films were beautifully shot in 'Scope, the first two in Eastmancolor and the finale in Technicolor.

    These are sooo much fun. I love them. I bought all the french english friendly blu-ray's so I'm good. Doubt I'll need to double dip on these.

          Hmm... Odd cover choice. Fantomas face is both recognizable and arresting as an image. Seems like a no-brainer but then again I don't design blu-ray covers for a living. The Tim Lucas commentary is enticing but why only on the first film.

            It looks like it's taken from an original one sheet image, but I agree - you'd think they'd put use more recognizable imagery.

              Kino replied to a comment I made about the English dub(s) on their FB announcement. They said the dub tracks are lost for all three. Maybe someone with prints will come forward.
