While the band mixed its 1978 album "Briefcase Full of Blues", a live recording of concerts, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, and Manager Bernie Brillstein outlined the concept of the movie to Universal Studio Executive Sean Daniel in a telephone call. Based on the popularity of Animal House (1978) and Il Saturday Night Live (1975), Daniel offered the duo a movie deal. By March 1979, Aykroyd had written a 324-page screenplay titled "The Return of the Blues Brothers." When John Landis came on board in Spring 1979, after dropping out of The Incredible Shrinking Woman (1981), he helped streamline the script to a workable length.
