I felt sick at prospect of ‘Skyfall’ sequel: Sam Mendes

“Was I willing to go straight back into a room with a writer and start work on the same set of characters and the same scenarios as I’ve been working on for the last three years? No. The idea made me feel physically ill,” he said.

Mendes was hotly-tipped to direct the follow-up to Skyfall but had announced last month that he will not direct the sequel of the spy thriller.
