USA TV - 007 on demand. Starz launch VOD service for uncut commercial free James Bond movie viewing

James Bond films have thrilled and amazed fans for over 40 years, but nothing like this has ever happened before - ever. “Ultimate Bond” - four different James Bonds, the vilest of evil villains, loads of “Bond Girls,” really cool gadgets and tons of action - we’re talking 17 Bond films shown for the first time on pay television uncut, commercial free, and on-demand to be seen anytime you want for no extra charge. It’s a fitting way to start off the New Year on January 1st, 2005.

Beginning January 1st, you’ll be able to see Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and let us not forget George Lazenby in 17 classic James Bond films anytime you want on Starz On Demand, and STARZ! Ticket on Real Movies for your PC. And on Friday, January 14th beginning at 8:00 p.m. (et/pt) Encore presents a 72-hour marathon of Bond films. Sir Roger Moore, who starred as James Bond in seven films over a 13-year span is the host of “Ultimate Bond.”

“Ultimate Bond” will feature special segments on the actors who played Bond, the cars, the gadgets, the “Bond Girls,” the locales, the villains, the memorable scenes action-packed chases, trivia, interviews with Sir Roger Moore and other actors who have appeared in the films (in addition to actors who are just plain Bond fans like Angelina Jolie), plus a short feature on Bond creator Ian Fleming.

Beginning Saturday, January 22, a different 007 film will be anchored every Saturday at noon on Encore.

The “Bond on Demand” event also includes a “Watch to Win” sweepstakes offering a chance to win a trip to your choice of three exciting James Bond locations - Monte Carlo, Jamaica or Switzerland, plus Bond CD soundtracks, and more.

A special “Ultimate Bond” on-screen button will be available on the Starz On Demand navigational menu enabling fans to go directly to the 17 Bond movies. Similar buttons will be introduced throughout 2005, and will correspond with unique Starz On Demand programming. This enhancement will improve on-demand movie viewing by providing just one button to take movie lovers to their favorite movie(s), allowing them to enjoy them sooner, and on their schedule.

Thanks to `Steve` and `Kyvan` for the alert.
