Bond Rejected Twice: How Spielberg’s Near-Miss Fueled Indiana Jones

Steven Spielberg revealed on The Rest Is Entertainment podcast that James Bond producer Cubby Broccoli twice turned him down for directing a Bond film—first after Jaws and again after a Moonraker negotiation. He even offered to let Broccoli use the Moonraker five-note theme in exchange for directing a Bond film, but was refused. The refusals reportedly nudged him toward Raiders of the Lost Ark, and he quips that if Bond ever asks again, ‘you can’t afford me.’

Spielberg’s Bond Pitch Rejected, He Found His Indiana Jones

Steven Spielberg said on The Rest Is Entertainment that after Jaws he asked Bond producer Cubby Broccoli to let him direct a Bond film, but he was repeatedly turned down—even after offering to license Bond's five-note melody for Moonraker; George Lucas later pitched him Indiana Jones, which became his signature franchise. He also noted he turned down Harry Potter to spend time with family, and added that if Bond ever asked again, you can't afford me.
