According to Anime News Network, the first Professor Layton movie will see a western release this year. Manga Entertainment plans to have the movie ready for DVD and Blue-ray sometime in September. It’s possible that Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva will receive a name change and it is not yet known if voices will be redubbed. Also, it should be noted that Manga Entertainment is a British company, so it isn’t entirely clear if the anime will become available in North America.
