Bond's 50th Anniversary

I amongst every other Bond fan enjoyed all the Bond hype in 2002 that accompanied DAD for the series' 40th Anniversary.
It does beg the question however of what will be done in 2012 when Bond celebrates its 50th anniversary? DAD did quite rightly perhaps exploit the fact that its release date feel on the 40th anniversary in every way possible and turned it into a selling point by including references to so many of the other films in it. As 50 is a bigger event than 40, I wonder how Eon will either:
(A) Avoid repeating the same celebrations as in 2002.
(B) Make sure that the celebrations are on a larger scale.
Logically, Eon will no doubt ensure that a new film's release date coincides with the anniversary (as was with DAD).
Any thoughts as to what could be done?

A theme park with Ken Adam's designs eg the volcano and Liparus - a bit pricey, that though!
Release Operation Kid Brother on DVD!

That seems so far off doesn't it?
as soon as they finish one, get a new scrip and start over.Bond 50th sould be 30.
Some good ideas there Hardyboy. Perhaps Bond can be seen celebrating his birthday in the movie too? (but don't let on that he is really a 50 year old!!!)
I had ths awful feeling that Hardyboy was going to start listing golden body parts. Mind you, we've already got Goldenballs in this country; should we add a few more to the list?

I hope they have some sort of ceremony/celebration gala night-type thing perhaps with Royal patronage!? Let's wait and see...
One can't simply rule it out

As for the film, I would avoid any mention of the anniversary.
As to the 2002 celebration it would help them to know what precisely needs to be avoided .
How about some details?
Cheers
