The Shangain scene: one of the best examples
of Roger Deakins' cinematography

While Javier Bardem and Judi Dench performances didn't make it, we're happy that many debts with the Bond films are now fulfilled. And the ceremony will contain a tribute show to homage the 50 years of James Bond onscreen. There are rumours that the six 007 actors will appear on stage for the first time.

HAPPY 2013

THE GOLDENEYE DOSSIER wishes our readers and Bond fans a happy 2013

SKYFALL BLU-RAY/DVD - Official artwork (how original!) and Release Date

Blu-Ray.com has listed the SKYFALL Blu-Ray with the official (temporary, we hope) cover artwork, featuring exactly the same design than the US One Sheet poster. The European releases design feature their respective cover artwork, which shows Bond in front of a gunbarrel logo showing the London skyline.

The official Bond video artwork usually contains the same image of Bond than in the theatrical posters, albeit with a different background setting. So far, it appears the same poster artwork will remain untouched for the DVD and Blu-Ray release, set for March 12, 2013 according to the site. Price is yet unknown.

The Special Features and other specs are yet to be revealed.
