Filmmaker Sam Mendes has confirmed that he will not be returning as the director for the next James Bond movie. The British director, known for critically acclaimed movies American Beauty, Road To Perdition, Revolutionary Road and 1917, had tackled two Bond films — 2012’s Skyfall and Skyfall (2015), starring Daniel Craig as the iconic spy.

In an interview, Mendes said he received a ‘generous offer’ from franchise producers, Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, to direct a new film, but he decided against it.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
