While Skyfall continues to dominate the UK box office Hollywood legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg has revealed that he was turned down after he offered to make a James Bond film.

The rejection took place in the 1970s and speaking to the Daily Mail Spielberg said "I went to Cubby Broccoli and I asked if I could do one and he said, 'No'.

I've never asked again. Instead, I made the Indiana Jones series."
