Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn says he once turned down the opportunity to direct James Bond movie "Spectre".
The film, which saw director Sam Mendes returning to helm his second 007 movie, grossed USD 880 million worldwide and won the best song Oscar.
The 45-year-old director said he prefers to do small films like "The Neon Demon" instead of taking the reins of a world-renowned franchise.
"I just know this way I can do whatever I want, and that outweighs any money anyone can give me," he told the Telegraph.
Refn was apparently also offered films like "Wonder Woman" and "Barbarella" remake but he turned them down.
