Kino Lorber have confirmed that they are preparing a Blu-ray release of director Nathan Juran's film
Jack the Giant Killer (1962), starring Kerwin Mathews, Judi Meredith, Torin Thatcher, Walter Burke, and Don Beddoe. The release is expected to arrive on the market early next year.
Synopsis: Forget about beanstalks. This "vivid fairy tale" (LA Herald-Examiner) brilliantly re-imagines the beloved fable as a rugged adventure that delights with "vigorous acting and excellent trick effects" (Halliwell's Film and Video Guide)! Reuniting the director and stars (Kerwin Mathews and Torin Thatcher) of The 7th Voyage of Sinbad), this visual treat is a journey you'll want to take again and again!
Farm boy Jack heroically rescues Princess Elaine from sorcerer Pendragon by slaying his bloodthirsty giant. But when Pendragon uses his evil powers to bewitch and imprison Elaine in his enchanted fortress, Jack must cross the ocean to brave dragons, two headed ogres and an army of ghouls to save his lady love!
