Sam Mendes revealed that he wouldn't be working on future James Bond films anymore.

"I said no to the last one and then ended up doing it, and was pilloried by all my friends," the filmmaker said of the latest James Bond installment, "Spectre," as quoted by BBC. "But I do think this is probably it."

He continued, "I don't think I could go down that road again. You do have to put everything else on hold."

"Spectre," which will debut in the U.K. on Oct. 26 and in U.S. theaters on Nov. 6, will star Daniel Craig once again as the iconic British spy. Also starring are Christoph Waltz, Ralph Fiennes, Dave Bautista, Andrew Scott, Monica Bellucci, Ben Whishaw, Rory Kinnear, Alessandro Cremona, Lea Seydoux, Naomie Harris, and Stephanie Sigman, the film's official site wrote.

Mendes said that directing "Spectre" was "a fantastic life-changing thing" and is akin to "one big experience," BBC added. Between his work on the previous Bond film, "Skyfall," and "Spectre," Mendes directed the stage production of Roald Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory."

"I'm happiest rehearsing a play or editing a movie, and when I've finished editing a movie I generally want to be back in a theater environment again," the 49-year-old filmmaker explained, as quoted by the news outlet. "It feels like home, it feels controllable after the chaos of a movie set. But it won't be long before I want to do another film, and I'm very fortunate to be able to go back and forth between the two."

Mendes labeled "Spectre" as a "bigger movie than "Skyfall," which earned $1.1bn in the box office worldwide, BBC wrote. One scene from "Spectre" depicted the Day of the Dead festival in Mexico and required 1,500 extras all dressed up in intricate and colorful costumes, with impressive and vibrant floats and maquettes included as well, SlashFilm reported. Other filming locations were held in London, Rome, and Morocco.

The director also revealed that the theme song for "Spectre" was already finished, but would not say the identity of the artist who recorded the track, BBC wrote.

As quoted by SlashFilm, the film's synopsis reads: "A cryptic message from Bond's past sends him on a trail to uncover a sinister organization. While M battles political forces to keep the secret service alive, Bond peels back the layers of deceit to reveal the terrible truth behind SPECTRE."
