CHICAGO – Think you are a big Bond fan? Think you know all there is to know about 007? Well, if so, there is a Blu-Ray collection that you will definitely want to pre-order today. “Bond 50” is a new Blu-Ray collection celebrating the Golden Anniversary of the first Bond film, “Dr. No,” and all the films that followed.

The “Bond 50” Blu-Ray set features all 22 Bond films on Blu-Ray Disc for the first time in an all-in-one package, including nine Bond films that were previously not available on high definition Blu-Ray. The announcement came today at a Directors’ Panel discussion in the Panasonic Booth at the annual Consumer Electronics Show. Bond directors John Glen, Martin Campbell, and Michael Apted were all on hand for the announcement. And of course, no Blu-Ray collection would be complete without the bonus features, which “Bond 50” has over 130 hours of.

Michael Brown, Senior Vice President of MGM Home Entertainment, made a statement about the Blu-Ray pack today: “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 Brown. “Now viewers can enjoy the intense action of the innovative franchise in the most immersive home experience possible.”

“Bond 50” is available in a slick Blu-Ray pack with all six Bond actors on the front and ready for pre-order now. Don’t miss your chance to own the ultimate James Bond Blu-Ray pack when “Bond 50” and its 130 hours of bonus features are released.
