This quote comes directly from the producer of the movies:
"I can happily announce that the DVD rights have finally sold to the US so we
can expect a release towards the end of the year or early next year. - Best
wishes"
Came out today!
The US DVD was crisp, sharper than a lot of Hollywood transfers (maybe a conspiracy to boost BluRay sales), but the T3I:Skeleton Island transfer may have an error. The left side of the screen has a thin vertical black bar the duration of the film. It didn't seem to affect the aspect (ho)ratio any, and I only began noticing it toward the end of the film, but it's there.
