Casino Royale - DVD
Interesting one this, even to a non Bond fan such as myself, anyway it looks to me as though there is already a price war on with the DVD,
which is rarely if ever seen with a blockbuster movie on the day it is released, especially as the dvd will probably be in the top ten list for many months to come. It also makes me think does someone out there know something.
One thing that does spring to mind is if this dvd has already dropped in price, someone along the line will not get the profits they were expecting, as such will this force them to do another edition of the film, possibly for an older audience, i.e. above 12, they may push it to a 15.
I am sure later in the year we will see another edition of the film, plus the usual special packaging editions, tin box edition etc, etc, etc ….. .
All of which will be marketed with the collector of Bond memorabilia in mind.
And then there is Christmas ! … well its not that far away ….

Stumbled across this site running a similar search. Anyway, I found an answer.

Director Martin Campbell on the lack of a commentary track in this edition:

“Yes, we are doing a commentary. I think (the studio) tends to milk these things (with Bond films). When I did GoldenEye, I did it with the producer (Michael G. Wilson). We’ll probably do it with (the producers). There may be some deleted scenes.”
