Just in time for the 50th Anniversary of the series, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment unveiled today at CES their plans for Bond 50, a collectible box-set featuring all 22 James Bond films on Blu-Ray. This will be the first time all the films have ever been offered in a complete collection and will mark the first time nine of the films have been available on Blu-Ray. The packaging features all six iconic James Bond actors and will feature more than 130 hours of bonus features including new and exclusive content.
“With all 22 feature films available on Blu-ray in one collection for the first time this is a great way for fans to catch up on 007’s epic journey before Skyfall hits theaters next Fall,” said Michael Brown, Senior Vice President, MGM Home Entertainment. “Now viewers can enjoy the intense action of the innovative franchise in the most immersive home experience possible.”
“We have a whole program of exciting activities planned for our 50th anniversary year, beginning with today’s announcement, by Fox, of the release of all 22 films on Blu-ray for the very first time,’’ added Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, with Eon Productions. “We are also delighted that Fox has unveiled a specially designed anniversary poster which we hope the fans will love as much as we do. Our website, 007.com will be regularly updated with all the latest anniversary news and events.”
No word yet on the exact release date, but most likely will be sometime around the release of Skyfall in November, just in time for Christmas. Fans can pre-order the collection starting today here.
