Sam Mendes says Spectre will be his last Bond film

Sam Mendes has confirmed that Spectre will be the last Bond film he directs.

He revealed this while discussing the commitment it takes to make a Bond film during an appearance on the BBC's cricket broadcast, Test Match Special. “I don’t think I could go down that road again,” he said.

“You do have to put everything else on hold. It really is more of a lifestyle choice than a job."

The director said that Spectre is a bigger movie than Skyfall. “It’s shot in more places. We were in Mexico City and Tangiers and northern Sahara and Rome and the Alps and London. It was an enormous undertaking,” he said.

Mendes also revealed that the theme song has already been recorded. He wouldn’t share any more information about the title track, but hinted that we won’t have to wait long.

Spectre, starring Daniel Craig, Christoph Waltz and Lea Seydoux, will be released on October 26th.
