For some reason, Judy Belushi and former SNL writer Anne Beatts are trying to revive The Blues Brothers for TV. I mean, you guys don’t want to let the magic that was Blues Brothers 2000 die, do you?!
If the pilot goes to series, each episode would include a musical number, presumably featuring a new Blues Brothers band.”It would be ‘Route 66’ meets ‘Glee,’ and it all goes to hell in a handbasket,” Beatts said.
The premise for the show currently has “the pair out of jail and Elwood, who was raised in an orphanage, looking for his real dad.” Neither Dan Aykroyd or Jim Belushi would star; instead, they’d look to recast the duo. Oh, and also, there is this:Is it possible for a show to sound too good?
