    Fans may note that actress Rosamund Pike has not been confirmed as being on the audio commentary with Pierce Brosnan. Sources for CommanderBond.Net have indicated, however, that her omission from the list does not actually reflect the content of the DVD and that the audio commentaries will be indentical to those found on the Region 2 release of the disc.
