20-Jul-2008 • Casino Royale

A new edition of the 2006 James Bond film "Casino Royale" will be released on Blu-Ray to coincide with the theatrical release of "Quantum of Solace" later this year.

The "Casino Royale" Deluxe Edition Blu-Ray will contain two discs and will be released on 22nd October 2008 in Australia. No release data for the UK of USA is currently available. It will be the first time that a film has been released more than once on the Blu-Ray format.

A beefed up DVD "Collectors Edition" will also be released this year - as announced by MI6 back in March. The new DVD edition of "Casino Royale" will contain 3 discs, but has already slipped its planned release date of June 2008. It is now expected to be released alongside the new Blu-Ray edition in October.

The additional Blu-Ray special features are yet to be confirmed, although they are likely to be identical to the upcoming Collectors Edition DVD release.
