As always, there’s going to be lots to do and see at San Diego Comic-Con, and we’re getting you geared up for a few specific things to be on the lookout for. First up, all you James Bond fans take note.
Amazon has it available for pre-order at $186.98 (as of this writing) – a pretty good deal for 22 movies, and there’s a chance that price may get lower before the release date hits. If you pre-order from Amazon, and the price gets lower that it is at the time you order, they will charge you the lowest price before they ship it… so that’s cool. Here’s what’s in the set:
Collectible box set featuring all 22 James Bond films on Blu-ray disc in one complete offering for the first time. The new collection includes all 22 James Bond feature films from Dr. No to Quantum of Solace and more than 130 hours of bonus features including never-before-seen content from the Bond archives, and more. There’s also “One disc of brand new bonus content approximately one hour in length.”
9 titles available on Blu-ray for the first time ever: Goldeneye, Octopussy, The Spy Who Loved Me, You Only Live Twice, The Living Daylights, Tomorrow Never Dies, Diamonds are Forever, A View to a Kill and On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
But I’m thinking you want something more… like say a commemorative t-shirt, right? Well, as it turns out, you’ll be able to pre-order this new Bond set at San Diego Comic-Con, and get a special Bond 50th Anniversary t-shirt for doing so. But that’s not all. You’re get to see official movie props, authentic James Bond vehicles and more. Read the full press release below. And hey, the line starts behind me. I may be spending a lot of time at this booth.
| WHAT: | In celebration of James Bond’s Golden Anniversary, MGM and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment in partnership with EON Productions are bringing 007 to Comic-Con. Fans will be able to get behind the wheel of one of four famous vehicles featured in a past Bond film, with a new vehicle featured each day of the convention, and see props from the Bond archives representing 50 years of the iconic franchise.
Using RFID technology, attendees will be able to take a photo with the vehicle and have it instantly uploaded to their social media profile. Each day will feature a different Bond vehicle, so fans will have to check back in at booth #3528 with their RFID bracelets to see what’s new! Fans will also be the first to get a sneak peek of the BOND 50 Blu-ray collection available September 25, 2012. Fans who pre-order the set on-site at Comic-Con will get an exclusive limited edition Bond 50th anniversary t-shirt. BOND 50 features all 22 classic films on Blu-ray neatly packaged into one cool, sleek collectable box-set. The collection marks the debut of nine James Bond films previously unavailable in high definition Blu-ray and comes with a dossier of more than 122 hours of bonus features. |
