'.this acquisition now expands United Artists', MGM's and Danjaq's ownership in and control of the franchise to include every James Bond film ever made.'

James Bond: The Daniel Craig 5-Film Collection (4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray) 4K UHD. NSNA was bought by MGM to protect the franchise/relationship with Eon but I haven't found any evidence that Eon co-owns NSNA now (and believe me, I've looked hard). The back of the BD actually lists the copyright as Famous Artists/Danjaq, it's official. The most successful invigoration of a cinematic franchise since Batman Begins, Casino Royale offers a new Bond identity. The fact that you type that 'MGM and Danjaq have joint ownership of all things Bond including Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again' does not count as evidence, unfortunately.ĭanjaq bought Feldman's rights to Casino Royale after he died and acquired the rest of the rights from Columbia as a result of the 1999 lawsuit. The last time that happened there was a lawsuit which kept the Bond films off the screens for six years.

MGM and Danjaq have joint ownership of all things Bond including Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again, and even if that weren't the case MGM wouldn't risk the relationship they have with Eon by going behind their backs in approving a release without their blessing. Casino, at last, hits the jackpot in this eye-popping, immersive 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray release from Universal.
