This year marks the 60th anniversary of the James Bond film franchise, and Amazon Prime Video has a treat for 007 fans who want to celebrate. According to Consequence, the streaming service will have all 25 of Eon Productions’ Bond movies, along with The Sound of 007 (TRAILER), a documentary about the history of music in the franchise, beginning on Wednesday, October 5th.
The movies included range from 1962’s Dr. No, starring Sean Connery, to Daniel Craig’s final Bond film, No Time To Die, from 2021. Don’t expect to see Never Say Never Again from 1983. Even though it starred the original Agent 007, Sean Connery, Never Say Never Again was not produced by Eon Productions, but by Taliafilm, and was distributed by Warner Bros. instead of United Artists.
The release date wasn’t chosen at random. October 5th is “World Bond Day,” and a concert on October 4th at London’s Royal Albert Hall will also be available to stream after it’s over. The films will only be available for a limited time. You can see all of the Bond movie trailers below.
And did you know that James Bond sipped more than just martinis? The Macallan, 007’s preferred whisky brand, is releasing a limited edition collection of James Bond-themed single malt Scotch. VinePair reports that each of the six limited edition bottles represents a different decade. The 60th anniversary collection is priced at…wait for it…$1,007. The online and overseas rollout begins this month. The collection should be available in the U.S. by February 2023.
