Discotek Media announced at the “51 Years of Lupin III” panel at Anime North on Friday that its Blu-ray Disc release of Lupin III: The Legend of the Gold of Babylon will include a brand new English dub directed by Richard Epcar and starring the cast of Lupin III: Part IV.
Discotek announced in 2005 that it had licensed the film, but the prospective DVD release was put on indefinite hold until August, when Discotek announced that it plans to release the film on Blu-ray Disc.
The 1985 film was the only anime film directed by filmmaker and actor Seijun Suzuki, who passed away in February.
During his quest, Lupin meets an old woman who has a connection to the treasure.
