I received a press release the other day for this upcoming Shout! Factory release of Luc Besson's fantasy tale, THE ADVENTURES OF ADELE BLANC-SEC. It's kind of like THE MUMMY, but with a French twist and a cute pterosaur discovering/riding gal taking the place of Brendan Fraser. Here's more info about this movie and it's DVD & Blu-ray release:
