HD purists will be glad to know that MGM and 20^th Century Fox have officially announced the first Blu-ray releases of the six of the twenty James Bond catalog titles in their vaults. The first wave is set for release on October 21, three weeks before the release of Quantum of Solace, including Dr. No, From Russia With Love and Thunderball.

The other titles set for release are Live and Let Die, For Your Eyes Only and Die Another Day. The movies have undergone digital restoration in the recent years, with all the films being scanned in at 4K resolution that is much higher than Blu-rays 1080p image. It is expected that the Blu-ray transfers will be taken from these remasters.
