Fox Pathé Europa has announced its release slate for June, and it's pretty loaded for a summer month, with a dozen titles from the MGM catalog getting a Blu-ray release – most of them still unannounced in the US. From Marilyn Monroe to Vietnam to drag queens in the outback, hustlers and gigolos, there's something for everyone.
The schedule is as follows:
June 1:
June 15:
- The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (Stephan Elliott, 1994)
- Be Cool (F. Gary Gray, 2005)
- Casino Royale (various directors, 1966)
- A Fish Called Wanda (Charles Crichton, 1988)
- Get Shorty (Barry Sonnenfeld, 1995)

Not all movies may be available in other territories.
Note that MGM is rumored to be close to shifting its home entertainment distribution business from Fox to another studio, possibly Sony (see Blu-ray.com,
February 9). If true, Fox might be releasing some premium MGM properties before its distribution deal expires.
