    Do you think the dvds will have new/updated documenteries, eg, the documenary about the james bond title sequences stops at twine. U think itl b updated to include the new films?



    I'd say not. EON don't seem invested in adding totally new content. We only get a one hour documentary too. One they've been hyping. Should be at least 2 1/2. It's 50 years of content after all.

    He's getting his due at least.

    "Lowry's death came less than two weeks after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced that Lowry, Cavén, Ian Godin, Kimball Thurston and Tim Connolly would be honored at the Scientific and Technical Awards ceremony Feb. 11 for the development of the Lowry System."

    Great that he knew he was going to be honoured.

    What?!!!!!! No way, 79, that's not fear. I really didn't expect this and am glad his work will be recognised but it's too late, if only he could have lived for a few more weeks. Though I suppose in life, you could always say that about something.

    RIP Mr. Lowry and thank you for you and your team's work on the Bond films.

    I was just looking at these really crappy, lacklustre Bond covers http://www.amazon.co.uk/Moonraker-Blu-ray/dp/B001R1WCB6/ref=pd_sim_d_h__1
    and all I can say is that I sure hope they have different packaging for the 50th Anniversary collection otherwise I'll be extemely disappointed as I've decided to get these when they come out. (I'm going to buy a portable Sony blue ray DVD player to play them on as I wanted to be able to play them on my laptop aswell which isn't blue ray and I refuse to buy another one just for this.) The horrible gold gun barrel and the 007 logo takes up most of the space! :( With my luck they'll be the same. Packaging like this would be better, where the picture takes up most of the cover:

    There is a chance we get new covers and being an anniversary they will play into the '50 years' occasion, I think a bit more than they would have otherwise.

    In the months to come, all will have to be revealed.

    We better get fresh new covers. EON lazed on enough already, so these Blu-rays are their redemption.

    1st October. This was confirmed in January so it seems pretty certain.

    You know, if we don't get new covers, I'm really not sure if I'll buy them. Presentation is quite important to me. This might be a sad thing to say as it's the quality of the film that really counts (which will be of a very high standard) not the covers, but there it is...

    It will seriously piss me off if we get naff covers

    Do you think the current blue ray covers are naff? I do. Terrible.

    I'm still hoping for an " Deluxe Edition " for QoS like we had with CR, that's really everything that matters for me...

    Yea totally, I think some of the ones created on these forums are superb and would be alot nicer in comparison, they need to be individual and interesting to look at yet be able to sit and look good as a collection, none of this crappy bland golden gun barrel taking up most of the cover

    Yeah, one wonders what goes through their heads sometimes. Those blue ray covers seem to exude pure laziness. Either that or a lack of creativity.

    Does anyone know if the blu ray set will come with triple play (dvd, blu ray, digital copy)?

    The second version of the UEs cover is also quite so dull With over photoshopped actors in the front.

    The photoshopped George Lazenby ones are the ones that get me. It looks like they pulled a frame out of the movie, then put an airbrush to his face for seventeen hours.

    Because, they did. Terrible.

    WOW. I just googled the cover for the UE of OHMSS and holy shite. The picture of Laz looks like a painting of his wax figure. :-S

    I have the FRWL and GF dvds from that pack. Not stunning, but not bad either.

    Dalton´s face on the TLD BR could have been so much better!

    Films 4, 5, 6 and 15 are the real duds of that collection.

    For On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Lazenby's head is stuck onto Brosnan's Tomorrow Never Dies body!

    Why is Connery´s face reversed on the YOLT cover? And Moore looks strange on TMWTGG.

    What I've really been craving is GE on blu-ray, and perhaps a look (finally) at the alternate ending for QoS.

    @Bounine, I received the CR Deluxe Edition for Christmas a few years ago, and it was most certainly worth the purchase. All of the special features were great, and up until about a year ago, I hadn't even checked out the Special Features. Was really nice seeing the extended opening and the alternate scenes with Vesper.

    YOU ARE JOKING! THESE ARE SOOO BAD! My FRWL DVD looks fine, but Connery on GF looks creepy.

    I was thinking about buying this deluxe edition from Amazon but since I'll be getting the 50th Anniversary Blue Ray collection I decided against it. I presume the blue ray version of CR will have all the same features. I love the deleted scenes. I watched them on You Tube and I wish they had have been included in the film.

    Mmm, I 'd love to see the alternate ending to QOS.

    Happy Easter everyone!
