                Posted - 01/14/2009 : 07:59:28  Thanks. I think we can assume that it isn't really set in 2000 then. (I was considering it for my Future Passed accolade.) |

  I remember asking John Landis, the film's writer-director, about this when he was writing the movie around 1997 (I was 13 years old and good friends with his son).  The conversation went something like this:
  Me: Why are you calling it Blues Brothers 2000? Landis: What year is coming up soon? Me: 2000.
  It didn't really satisfy me, but I wasn't about to press him on it. |
