James Bond Blu-ray update

[Clare Newsome]

Had an interesting chat with 20th Century Fox yesterday re the Blu-ray releases of the James Bond movies.

They confirmed that the delay to releasing the other movies was all tied up with the (recently resolved) MGM financial situation, but that the complex ensuing stalement should be cleared soon.

That should see - as predicted - more Bond Blu-rays being released in the run up to the new Bond movie (and the franchise's 50th anniversary) in 2012.

Now wouldn't a 50th Anniversary Bond Blu-ray boxset be nice [😀]

(PS - Another BD factoid: most Star Wars pre-orders to date are for the full six-film set)

I believe the correct response in this situation is:

oooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo!

 

[Clare Newsome]

Indeed. But before that happens there's still some squabbling with Sony re whom has BD rights for the latest movies (Casino Royale particularly), apparently

 

[The_Lhc]

That's already been done on BD though, as has Question of Sport? Mind you if it means they stop re-issuing the Brosnan ones I won't be complaining...

That's next year's birthday present sorted then!

Andy, you shouldn't, I hardly know you!

Hmmm, looks like Sony's fighting hard for cinema distribution of the new Bond film - and maybe the home distribution, too? Fox may not have won the battle just yet...

Just stop squabbling, studios, and bring us the Blu-ray boxset already

I'm waiting for GoldenEye on BD (done properly, unlike the cropped UE) and On Her Maj.

You mean without Alan "I am inwincible!" Cumming in it?

and On Her Maj.

I could have compounded it by saying we had the chat in BBC Broadcasting House, while waiting to appear on Radio 4.
