While taking a break from speculation surrounding the new Ghostbusters movie, Dan Aykroyd seems to have found another project to keep him busy – The Blues Brothers television series.
Variety reports that if the series is given the go ahead, the plot will revolve around Elwood’s (Aykroyd) journey to find his biological father.
While Aykroyd’s character would feature strongly in the show, the actor has expressed his desire to take a backseat on the small-screen project, and cast new actors in the lead roles.
The pilot has been written by Aykroyd himself and former Saturday Night Live scribes Anne Beatts, Wayne Catania and Kieron Lafferty.
The 1980 film – starring Aykroyd and the late John Belushi – follows the musical duo, as they try to save the Catholic home in which they were raised.
The film has since gone onto become a cult classic amongst fans, grossing over $100m worldwide.
Stay tuned for any developments…
