Bond 4K Releases

[John Johnson]

With the final Daniel Craig outing available on 4K, are there any plans to release the rest of the franchise?

[Eric W.]

No idea why my link to Amazon didn't work so try this: "007 The Daniel Craig Collection [4K UHD]" without quotes in a search engine. They are already out.

Are you referring to other Bond films past that?

Yeah John is talking about the entire series.

I don't know what the future holds. MGM is still actively remastering its back catalog and licensing out titles to Kino Lorber and other labels -- however, the Bond movies aren't titles they would license to another label. They're hanging onto those...but when and how they get released is anyone's guess. What happens when Amazon takes MGM over is also anyone's guess. Maybe Amazon continues MGM's business model -- it's not as if Amazon is Disney and against physical media, seeing as they sell it! -- but these are all things that need to be answered the longer this drags on. You'd think the Bond movies would be the first ones they'd want out in 4K UHD.

There are already 4K masters of the entire series (all the Eon movies plus NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN) on Vudu and Itunes. I own them digitally, and they are all better than the Blu-Ray remasters. They do not have an HDR/Dolby Vision grade but that shouldn't be something that's difficult to produce.

Good to know, thanks for the information, Andy.
