All the Bonds. All the girls. All the action. All
in high-definition. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios and Twentieth Century Fox Home
Entertainment mark James Bond’s monumental golden anniversary with the release
of BOND 50, the complete Bond experience showcasing all 22
classic films on Blu-ray together for the first time ever, neatly packaged into
one cool, sleek collectable box-set. The collection will be available beginning
September 24 in the United Kingdom and September 25 in North America with
additional international markets to follow that week. BOND 50
marks the debut of nine James Bond films previously unavailable in high
definition Blu-ray and comes with a dossier of more than 122 hours of bonus
features.
Set for release just prior to the theatrical
premiere of SKYFALL, BOND 50 will offer a look at the
latest Bond film through videoblogs shot with the cast and crew. The
BOND 50 collection also provides two all-new pieces that
spotlight the history of 007. “The World of Bond” takes a look at the style and
attitude that is signature to Bond; pulling together the cars, the women, the
villains and the music that have been a staple of these films for the past 50
years. “Being Bond” profiles the six distinguished actors that have had the
honor of portraying 007.
“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.”
Additional bonus content in the BOND
50 collection includes cast and crew commentaries, the
behind-the-scenes making of each film, in-depth interviews with every actor that
played Bond, a closer look at the exotic locations as shot on-the-set, the women
of Bond, the villains of Bond, Bond’s cars and gadgets, music videos and much,
much more!

thrilling montage. The World of Bond showcases the fascinating and entertaining
interplay among unforgettable moments of danger, seduction, adventure and a dash
of that distinguished humor that fans have cherished from the beginning up until

Pop-Up Trivia option to challenge even the sharpest of fans with little known
facts and interesting trivia from the Bond Universe.

taken on the part and secured a spot in cinematic history. Sean Connery, George
Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig each
reflect on the impact and importance of taking on such a famous role. With this
piece, gain insight into what each actor brought to the character and discover
how they shaped the world’s most timeless secret agent.
