Steven Spielberg says James Bond producers couldn't afford him

Steven Spielberg revealed he was rejected twice by James Bond producer Cubby Broccoli, first after "Jaws" and again after "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Spielberg offered to direct a Bond film in exchange for using the "Close Encounters" musical theme in "Moonraker," but was denied. He believes this led to him directing "Raiders of the Lost Ark" instead. Spielberg joked that Bond producers "couldn't afford him" now.
