    By Matt Weston on 2008-07-18

    A brand new Blu-ray edition of the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale is due to hit shelves alongside the DVD re-release of the film later this year.

    Australian DVD retailer EzyDVD lists the Region 4 release of the 2-disc Blu-ray set (and the DVD re-issue) for 22 October, 2008.

    The re-releases have yet to be formally announced, however it is known that the new DVD will contain three discs.

    EzyDVD’s listing refers to both releases as the “Deluxe Edition” of the film.

    The re-release of Casino Royale on Blu-ray appears to be the first time ever that a movie has been re-issued on the format. The initial Blu-ray disc was a massive success when released last year.

    Expect more details to be announced soon.

    Six of the earlier James Bond films were recently announced for release on Blu-ray later this year.
