The 65-year-old comedy legend - who played one of the main titular characters in the hit 1980 film along with the late John Belushi - has hinted at the idea of casting Lupita Nyong'o and Taylor Swift to take on the roles of Elwood and Jake Blues. Aykroyd initially created the blues duo as part of a musical sketch on 'Saturday Night Live' alongside Belushi - who died in 1982 at the age of just 33 - and the pair went on to get a number one album with 'Briefcase Full of Blues' in 1978 before making the film.
