- Given that the Steelbook set is a limited edition that will likely sell out before the release date, you might want to reserve a copy now while you wait for additional details. You wont be charged until it ships. Additional information will be added for this set right here when it becomes available.
The six films included in the box sets will include: Dr. No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), You Only Live Twice (1967), and Diamonds Are Forever (1971). If you’re wondering, Never Say Never Again (1983) is missing from the set as it was not an official Eon Productions Bond film.
As for what the future holds for Bond, Amazon (the owners of the franchise) don’t have a plan yet, but things are expected to accelerate now that Spider-Man and Harry Potter producers are on board.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy commented on the company gaining creative control of James Bond during an interview with CNBC. “We don’t have a plan yet on what the next theme is going to be,” Jassy said. “We haven’t – nobody’s written the story yet. But we will take great care. It’s an amazing franchise that we care a lot about and that we expect to develop over a long period of time.”
