Thanks to a comment made here, it seems Artus Films Blu-ray releases of HERCULES (1958) and HERCULES UNCHAINED (1959) will be available in March 2025. As previously reported at my BY THE GODS! blog, those BD releases had already been set but it fell through. This was back in 2021! So, hopefully this time Artus Films will succeed. And hopefully, the prints will be different than the ones on DVD in France or the Japanese Blu-ray versions, which I don't care for. Anyway, I checked the internet and couldn't find any confirmation of this. I'm just relying on the comment posted here on the blog. I assume the packaging from the aborted first release will be used for this one which is why I've included them here.
Addendum: the movies are not listed at Artus Films' website but they are listed at Amazon France (thanks to the anonymous comment): HERCULES and HERCULES UNCHAINED.
And another seller, CINEFEEL (thanks Paul)
They're actually trying to sell these as Mario Bava movies.

I see that Hercules is available on Amazon France for pre-order but I can't find Hercules Unchained there.
Many Bava fans labor under the assumption that if he had anything to do with the movie, Bava was the real director. We can blame much of this on Tim Lucas who gives Bava way too much credit for just about everything.
GREAT WORK!
