With all the Bond movies you could release several anniversary editions in basically any given year.

Years ending in 1/6:
Diamonds Are Forever
For Your Eyes Only
Casino Royale

Years ending in 2/7:
Dr. No
The Spy Who Loved Me
The Living Daylights
Tomorrow Never Dies
Die Another Day
Skyfall (don't see them releasing a 5th anniversary edition though)

Years ending in 3/8:
From Russia with Love
Live and Let Die
Octopussy
Quantum of Solace

Years ending in 4/9:
Goldfinger
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
The Man with the Golden Gun
Moonraker
License to Kill
The World is Not Enough

Years ending in 5/0:
Thunderball
A View to a Kill
Goldeneye

I don't see them rushing the other 5 anniversary editions out this year but if this is successful I could see them making their way back to them after doing the 2018 anniversary editions. Just another way to reconfigure these releases and in a 23-film series you can't help but see anything like this as a way to test the waters for the other 22.

Not much of a collector of steelbooks, but if they did this with every Bond movie, I would very seriously consider dropping my anniversary Blu-ray set for individual releases!

MI6-HQ, however, now only says the UK. Though it's normal for the U.S. & UK to get the same Bond releases, and SteelBooks are making a small comeback here, it wouldn't be surprising if this was UK-only. Proof or it won't happen...

Have all the features from the mega Laserdisc from MGM made it to the blurays?

I know the criterion commentary never made it.

Was this ever released in the U.S? Can't seem to find an updated release date or pre-order link for it.

Thanks, J. I was hoping for a US release so maybe I'll hold off for now.

That's one awesome looking steelbook. I'm not one to usually get a movie for just the packaging but this might be hard to pass up!

I'm not a steelbook collector but I am a Bond nut, and that's looks very nice indeed. I might have to get it.

Great looking case!

Al_The_Strange · 06-18-2014, 07:18 PM

Wouldn't it be cool if they could make one out of real gold?

Yes, and they could make Diamonds are Forever out of real diamonds.
