It's called Indiana Smith,' which is what it was called at the time. He told me the premise of the Indiana Jones series, and that's how I got that job."When asked whether he was still open to directing a Bond movie, Spielberg said, "My answer would be: 'You can't afford me.'"The franchise is now with Amazon MGM Studios and "Dune" director Denis Villeneuve has been tapped to direct the next installment.
