Well, it turns out that once upon a time the series might have been able to call upon an even bigger name to take on a 007 outing: none other than the great Steven Spielberg.
"I’d always wanted to make a James Bond film from the day I saw Dr No, so I called Cubby after Jaws and volunteered," he explained during an appearance on The Rest Is Entertainment podcast.
"I said, 'If you need a director, I would love to direct one.' And he said no."
"I said, 'I’ll make you a deal. I’ll give you permission to use the five notes if you let me direct a Bond film.’ And he said no. But I gave him the five notes anyway," he recalled.
