Bluuuuuuu-fingahhh. He’s the man, the man with the hi-def touch...
Yes, the world’s greatest secret agent, James Bond, is coming to Blu-ray in October...*

Six 007 classics will be hitting the hi-def format for the first time on 20 October. MGM and 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment have chosen Dr No, From Russia With Love, Thunderball, Live And Let Die, For Your Eyes Only and Die Another Day for their first batch of Bond back catalogue Blu-ray releases to accompany the opening of Bond 22, Quantum Of Solace, on 31 October.
Daniel Craig’s debut outing as 007, Casino Royale, was the first Bond film to arrive on Blu-ray back in March last year and remains the best selling Blu-ray disc to date in the UK.
The films appearing on Blu-ray were recently digitally restored for the Ultimate Editions DVD collection via the state-of-the-art Lowry process. We are promised ‘special features galore’, but no news on whether there will be any new extras exclusive to the format – or when to expect the remainder of the franchise in HD and in what order.
“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,” said Eric Doctorow, General Manager Worldwide, MGM Home Entertainment.
We'll bring you more discs details as soon as we have them.
* But not Goldfinger. We just wanted to do the Shirley Bassey gag...
