Dan Aykroyd has revealed he’s working on a follow-up to 1980 movie The Blues Brothers.

He played Elwood Blues in the 1980 original and starred alongside John Belushi. He’s now working with the late actor’s brother Jim on a film which he hopes to release on DVD and via on-demand TV services.

Aykroyd tells the Daily Mail: “I have a story in mind, and that might be something Universal may be interested in. A feature? I don’t think so, they wouldn’t back that, but maybe something to video.

I might do a straight to video with a lot of music and that kind of thing where we could really pack it with music, make it a little smaller and still a valid piece of art.”

The first film struggled at the box office on release but went on to be a smash hit when released on video. Aykroyd was later joined by John Goodman for The Blues Brothers 2000 film.
