I'm about to start the second script featuring the characters of Deuce Neutron and the Funk Bombs. For the two or three of you who've read that script and care, it's somewhat obvious that The Blues Brothers (movie and band) were something of an inspiration for the characters and the movie, so here's this little tidbit:
I was watching this thing last night about the movie The Blues Brothers, and how the act was taking off so Universal wanted to make a movie, and this was Dan Aykroyd's response:
"I need 20,000 dollars in cash, a used California police cruiser, and three months on the road. Then you'll have your movie."
Three months later, he threw copies of the 325 page script- each copy bearing the covers of a different city's phone book- onto the property of the producers, the director, and John Belushi. In the middle of the night, mind you.
Dan Aykroyd, by the way? My new hero.
