MGM just announced they will be putting out six James Bond movies this fall for the first time in high-def… Details here.
But.. The initial titles… Hmm.
Dr. No? Good choice.
Live and Let Die? OK, first Roger Moore Bond, that’s cool…
From Russia With Love? A great Connery flick, very close to the Fleming novel…
Thunderball? Another good choice.
For Your Eyes Only? Err… well… whatever.
Die Another Day? Really? Well, I guess you need to have one Brosnan Bond but… not Goldeneye? Really?
Seems to be something missing from this list. Wonder what it could be?
…
Oh, yeah. THE BEST JAMES BOND MOVIE EVER. The movie that will make tens of thousands of people around the world immediately go out and buy a blu-ray player.
I’m speaking, of course, of Goldfinger.
All I can think (hope) is that they are spending extra time to remaster Goldfinger for high-def and it will not be ready in time for the Christmas. If not, well, I’m a little surprised.
