Fox Home Entertainment in conjunction with MGM Home Entertainment have announced that they will bring six classic James Bond films to Blu-ray this fall. All six title - 'Dr. No', 'Die Another Day', 'Live and Let Die', 'For Your Eyes Only', 'From Russia with Love', and 'Thunderball' - are currently planned to hit store shelves on October 21st (October 20th internationally).
Each title has received frame-by-frame restoration by famed film restoration gurus Lowery Digital Images.
Eric Doctorow, General Manager Worldwide, MGM Home Entertainment commented, "With 'Quantum of Solace' on the horizon, Bond fever is building once again and there is no better time to re-introduce these beloved films featuring the best picture and sound quality available today to the 60 million+ HD-capable households worldwide"
No technical specs or supplemental features have been announced at this time, but we expect more information to be released in the coming weeks.

I wonder if they'll be issuing these as a box set as well, like they did (several times/iterations) on SDVD... |

The only thing that makes me slow to consider picking these up are the number of dips the Bond series had on DVD. I feel like I might prefer to wait for the uber boxed set special editions of all films from No to Solace. |

With a choice of one by one or a box set I would certainly always go for the one by one because I like
standardized packaging when it's available.
I'll try to get them all... looks like it's time to start saving.
I'm giving my complete (minus Casino Royale) set of Bond DVD's to my step dad.

The 3 Connery movies are must-buy's for me but I will not be supporting the Roger Moore era at all. Die Another Day will also most likely be getting skipped by me.
It does seem off that we're getting 1, 2, and 4 with #3 (Goldfinger) being skipped over. Hopefully we'll see the rest of the Connery series come out not too long after.
Also, isn't Ghostbusters tentatively scheduled for an Oct. 21st release? If so, that is shaping up to be a big time release date for BD. |

I wish GoldenEye was in there but might pick up a couple depending on the transfers; I've already spend too much the SD collections. |

Not only good for my collection, but this would be great gifts for my in-laws... just as soon as they get
a blu-ray player. |
