You need to use all the Hollywood connections you have, to prevent this from ever coming to pass.


'Blues Brothers' TV Project in Development

Former "Saturday Night Live" writer Anne Beatts and John Belushi's widow, Judy, are shopping a pilot script to networks and studios.

The Blues Brothers, the 1970s comedy and musical duo made famous by Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, could be coming back to television.

The former Saturday Night Live sketch-turned-big-screen feature is being redeveloped as a new series with Judy Belushi (John’s widow) among the writers attached.

A pilot script from Anne Beatts (who wrote for Saturday Night Live from 1975-1980), Belushi, Wayne Catania and Kieron Lafferty is on the verge of being shopped to networks and studios.

The project would see Jake and Elwood out of jail, with the latter searching for his real father.

Beatts, Belushi and Eric Gardner of Panacea Entertainment are on board as executive producers with Aykroyd voicing Jake and Elwood’s parole officer.

The musical sketch first originated on SNL in 1978. Aykroyd and Belushi capitalized on the success of the characters with a 1978 album, Briefcase Full of Blues. The characters were featured in the 1980 feature The Blues Brothers.

After Belushi's death in 1982, Aykroyd continued to perform with guest singers filling in. The band reformed in 1998 and again 10 years later when the big-screen sequel, Blues Brothers 2000, unspooled in theaters.

The project is the latest in a series of 1970s remakes this development season. NBC is developing Frankenstein and The Munsters, while CBS has Bewitched. ABC also is preparing to launch a Miami-set update of Charlie’s Angels next month.

If your job was to prevent Hollywood from doing crappy re-makes of ancient films and TV shows, there would not be enough hours in the day to complete it.

I keep waiting for a "re-imagining" of Plan 9 From Outer Space. Or Norbit.

[KahanaReef]

Heh... CJREX, you are correct! Not enough hours. Not even close.

I just want less reality TV crap. It's taking away a ton of jobs A few are OK, but jeeezzzzz! They're everywhere, practically every hour

[pajeff02]

TV is 95% crap anymore. That's why I depend on you guys to keep me entertained.

That was definitely entertaining.

It may be more work, but it's also an abomination and should not be allowed to come to fruition. You must use the leverage you have within the "entertainment" industry and see that this idea be stopped dead in its tracks. Other work will come along.

Yes.

Safety first. But what do I know. I am not a saggy balled Texan who gets off by stroking myself to the tune of some internet nut-swingers regarding oil and filters.

Bring me a quart,
Bring me a quart,
Bring me a quart of that Mobil 1.

Bring me a filter,
Bring me a filter,
Just make sure its not that ole orange one.

I've got no pull in Hollywood, Drew. Trust me Write everyone producing this thing if you feel that strongly about it.

Snuff film stars don't get a lot of repeat work, unless their next film is a zombie movie.

I just want any part, I think it would be cool.

True...I would be a zombie movie. No snuffers though.
