Earlier this year, it was revealed that Dan Aykroyd and Judy Belushi are producing a potential Blues Brothers animated series that will once again follow the musical exploits of Jake and Elwood Blues, whom the late John Belushi and Aykroyd originally portrayed on Saturday Night Live and the classic Blues Brothers movie in 1980. If the show goes forward, it’s gonna need some writers. And one intrepid screenwriter is throwing his hat in early!

Via AVClub, Keith Saltojanes created a twitter page for his Blues Brothers animated spec pilot and he proceeded to act out all of the parts with multiple accounts over the course of seven days. It’s a unique approach to getting his script read, although it’s one that’s bound to be imitated several times over. Within the story, Jake and Elwood are roped into a musical mission from God, with appearances by the almighty himself; in addition to the the shape changing seemingly supernatural nun, Sister Mary Stigmata; and Johnny Cash. Along the way, there’s a signature Blues Brothers car chase and a few appearances by the band. We should also mention that the script was set in 1976, a few years before the original film.

Here’s a brief sample:

You can read the entire script here, but just remember to scroll all the way down the bottom for the first post. If the Blues Brothers animated series finds a home, we think that the theme song should be their rendition of “Soul Man.”
