anniversary, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios and Twentieth Century
Fox Home Entertainment
today unveiled BOND 50, a collectible box-set featuring all 22

Acclaimed Bond directors John Glen (five Bond films including

in the Panasonic Booth at the annual Consumer Electronics Show.
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."
"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."
