The Blues Brothers is not the only 80s movie being considered for a TV remake as Romancing the Stone is also joining the queue, according to scriptwriter Mark Friedman.
Popular 80s movie Romancing the Stone, which stars Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, has been the subject of many rumoured remake discussions.
But it is only now that a television series has come creeping out of the woodwork, with Friedman at the helm.
While the 1984 film centres on a young female writer enlisting the help of an adventurer to help save her kidnapped sister, the TV series would focus on the search for her missing brother, according to Deadline.
The Ugly Truth stars Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl are being considered for the lead roles of Jack T. Colton and Joan Wilder.
The potential TV series pitched to NBC is being produced by Shawn Levy and Marty Adelstein's 21 Laps/Adelstein Prods with 20th Century Fox TV.
