Sam Mendes' second James Bond movie, Spectre, is likely to be his last, the director has revealed.

He noted in the BBC interview that his decision to return to the franchise after his declaration earned him some grief from friends: "I said no to the last one and then ended up doing it, and was pilloried by all my friends. But I do think this is probably it."

Considering that Skyfall and Spectre have taken a total of five years to make, you can't blame Mendes for wanting to do something new. "It feels almost, even though we've just finished shooting it, like one big experience and it was a fantastic life-changing thing," he said. However, he described the process as an "enormous undertaking," adding, "It really is more a lifestyle choice than a job."

Skyfall is the highest-grossing Bond movie of all-time, so it's no surprise that producers wanted Mendes back for Spectre, the 24th official entry in the film franchise. Unfortunately, he wasn't joined by Skyfall cinematographer Roger Deakins, who was responsible for making the last movie arguably the best-looking in series history.

A theme song for Spectre has not yet been unveiled, though Mendes teased that it's already been recorded and we should be hearing more about it soon.

Spectre is due out on October 26 in the UK, and will be followed by a worldwide release on November 6. It's a direct sequel to the last three Daniel Craig-starring films, and features Christoph Waltz and the apparent return of SPECTRE, the villainous group from the Bond novels and early films.

Jamie Briggs, Analog Addiction. "Kratos has finally made his debut on the PlayStation 4, in the form of God of War III Remastered. Unfortunately this isnt a new entry in the highly praised franchise; instead PlayStation 4 owners get to experience what I believe is the best entry in the long running series. God of War III Remastered isnt a drastic visual leap from its original release, nor does it bring many new features to the table to sweeten the deal, but it does provide a sound improvement over the original PlayStation 3 version, easily making it the best way to experience God of War III."
