French `Ultimate Edition` DVDs set for July release, AVTAK quirk

MI6 can confirm that Bond fans in France will see the release of the new Ultimate Editions on the same day as the UK, and will also enjoy a "monster box" set of all 20 titles, limited to only 5,000 units. Details on the packaging of the monster box are yet to be revealed, but it will not the same 007 attache case as its being released in the UK.

One quirk of the French release is the cover art of the 1985 Roger Moore film "A View To A Kill". The international jacket features May Day and a prominently placed Eiffel Tower, but for whatever reason, the Parisian icon has been removed from the French edition - with a shot of Tanya Roberts as Stacey Sutton in its place.
