As it stands today, only Daniel Craig's five James Bond films have been released in 4K on Ultra HD Blu-ray home media, although the other 20 adventures have been made available in 4K on streaming services.
Warner Bros, who holds the home media publishing deal with MGM, recently presented their upcoming slate of releases for 2025. Scheduled for June 3rd is The Sean Connery Collection in 4K. This would be all 6 of his official films: 'Dr. No', 'From Russia With Love', 'Goldfinger', 'Thunderball', 'You Only Live Twice', and 'Diamonds Are Forever'.
It is understood that these UHD releases will use the 4K scans performed by Lowry off the Original Camera Negatives (OCNs). Lowry scanned the first 8 films plus 'Moonraker' off OCNs, whereas the subsequent Bond films were remastered from studio masters provided by MGM.
Whilst this 4K Connery box set release is expected in the USA, there are currently no details regarding other territories.
