This is up for pre order at Amazon now. Looks like BCI will release this on a double bill with the atrocious VAMPIRE HOOKERS, in anamorphic widescreen.
So it's good but not great news for Naschy fans.
We should get the best version of CDGL ever seen, but not the lovely special edition we might have gotten if BCI continued the Spanish Horror Series.
A commentary was recorded for this one ( Naschy and the films director ), let's all pray it gets included as an extra.

Did I miss this? They're not doing that series anymore? Damn. So are the upcoming releases of CURSE OF THE DEVIL and WEREWOLF SHADOWS the swan song or have those been nixed as well?
The 2 Danisky films are still coming, some posters at Latarnia are reporting their copies have been sent from various retailers.
The Victory Films series of 9 films ended with DRACULA SAGA and the other films that would have made the second round of the Spanish Horror Series are left behind in the vault.
Victory has CDGL, but it appears whatever is used for the DVD will not be coming from them.
Mixed news as reviews trickle in on the 2 Naschy Werewolf films being re-issued by BCI. WEREWOLF SHADOW seems to be an improvement visually over the old Anchor Bay release, but the main extra of the American re-edit has been botched.
CURSE looks worse than the old AB disc and there is a motion artifact throughout.
There is a review at DVD Drive In and a thread over in the Naschy folder at Latarnia for anyone wanting more info.
I think I'll still get WEREWOLF SHADOW but right now I am glad I neglected to pre order these.
