Six Classic James Bond Films Arrive on 4K Blu-Ray This September

While Sean Connery`s iconic James Bond films have been available in 4K Blu-ray since June as part of a comprehensive 6-Film Collection, fans eager to own individual titles can rejoice. All six movies, including classics like Dr. No and From Russia With Love, will be released separately on September 23rd. Pre-orders for these individual 007 films are now open, priced between $25 and $30 each. However, opting for the complete 6-Film Collection still provides significant savings for those wishing to acquire the entire set.

Sean Connery`s James Bond Movies on 4K Blu-ray: Individual Releases

The six films starring Sean Connery that were produced by EON Productions are now available for pre-order. It`s worth noting that while Connery appeared in a seventh Bond-related film, Never Say Never Again, it is not considered part of the official James Bond canon as it was produced independently.

Each of these 4K Blu-ray editions comes with a digital copy, along with a host of bonus features, including insightful commentaries and behind-the-scenes material. Enhanced with Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, and Dolby TrueHD 7.1 support, these classic movies are set to deliver an exceptional audio-visual experience on contemporary displays.

The individual films and their approximate pricing are:

• Dr. No – $30
• From Russia With Love – $30
• Goldfinger – $25
• Thunderball – $30
• You Only Live Twice – $30
• Diamonds Are Forever – $25

Sean Connery 6-Film Collection (4K Blu-ray)

The complete 6-Film Collection, which debuted on June 10th, is currently priced at $100 (originally $105). While this set doesn`t feature the individual, stylish cases found with the standalone releases, it offers a substantial saving of about $70 compared to purchasing each film separately. This collection boasts the same high-quality technical specifications and bonus content as the individual 4K Blu-ray editions.

An exclusive, limited-edition Steelbook Library Collection, which included six steelbook cases and a premium metal display box for $140, was also offered but quickly sold out following its pre-order launch earlier in the year.

For those who prefer 1080p resolution, The James Bond Collection offers exceptional value at $70 (reduced from $120).

This comprehensive 24-film box set includes every official James Bond movie, excluding Craig`s final film, No Time to Die (2021), which can be purchased separately for $10 on Blu-ray or $19 on 4K.
