Mel Brooks Collection Detailed

20th Century Fox Home Entertainment has announced the technical specs and special features for the upcoming Blu-ray release of 'The Mel Brooks Collection', which is scheduled to hit store shelves on December 15th. For this nine-disc set, video will be presented in 1080p AVC accompanied by 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks.

No official word has been given at this time, but expect to see the existing Warner Brothers disc for 'Blazing Saddles' rather than a new release. Those technical specs will likely not match the rest of the set.
