In celebration of James Bond’s monumental golden anniversary, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment have unveiled BOND 50, a collectable box-set featuring all 22 James Bond films on Blu-ray Disc for the first time in one complete offering. The longest running film franchise of all time, the Bond 50 collection marks the debut of nine James Bond films previously unavailable in high definition Blu-ray. Fans around the world can pre-order now with participating online retailers.

Acclaimed Bond directors John Glen (five Bond films including ‘For Your Eyes Only’, ‘Octopussy’, ‘A View to a Kill’, ‘The Living Daylights’ & ‘Licence To Kill’), Martin Campbell (‘GoldenEye’, ‘Casino Royale’) and Michael Apted (‘The World Is Not Enough’) with special guests Olga Kurylenko (‘Quantum of Solace’) and Caterina Murino (‘Casino Royale’) made the Blu-ray announcement today during a Directors? Panel discussion in the Panasonic Booth at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

BOND 50 showcases fifty years of Bond neatly packaged into one cool, sleek collectable box-set featuring all six iconic James Bond actors. Produced using the highest possible picture quality and audio presentation, the collection includes all 22 James Bond feature films from ‘Dr. No’ to ‘Quantum of Solace’ and more than 130 hours of bonus features including some 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.”

BOND 50 is set for release just prior to the theatrical premiere of SKYFALL on 26 September 2012 in Australia.
