Bond 50 Blu-Ray Tour
25th September 2012
James Bond legend Sir Roger Moore set the digital
timer on a golden briefcase containing the first copy of the
Bond 50 Blu-ray
collection on 12th September before it traveled
the
length of
Great Britain from Monday 17th to Monday 24th September. To mark
the Golden Anniversary of James Bond on film, the golden briefcase
set off in an Aston Martin DBS featured in "Quantum of Solace"
from Eilean Donan Castle in the Scottish
Highlands
at 10.07am on Monday 17th September, embarking on a seven-day
journey.
Alongside the seven-time James Bond legend, the case was also
carried by other 007 icons including Bond actresses Britt
Ekland, Shirley Eaton, Tania Mallet and Eunice Gayson, classic
villain Richard Kiel, costume designer
Lindy Hemming, stunt coordinator Paul Weston and director
John Glen.
During its journey across the
country, the briefcase traveled in the Aston Martin, by helicopter,
train
and
on foot, stopping off at the most memorable British locations,
including Stoke Park, the scene of 1964’s classic golfing
encounter between Bond and Auric Goldfinger, and the Eden Project
in Cornwall, which doubled as villain Gustav Graves’ diamond
mine in "Die Another Day".
At the end of its seven days of adventure the
golden briefcase arrived in Central London at 10.07am on
September 24th, as Britt Ekland
and Richard Kiel hand-delivered it to the HMV store on Oxford
Street with the Aston Martin stopping in front of the store.
The BOND 50 Blu-Ray set is now available to
buy in the UK and USA.
