Dan Aykroyd gives it his blessing.

He probably was forced to or he would be labeled as a misogynist or some bs.

Probably they wouldn't. Probably they'll call it "Blues Sisters," just like I'm sure the "Bad Boys" spinoff with Gabrielle Union will be called "Bad Girls."

Blues Brothers is one of a kind. Blues Brothers 2000 sucks. The original cannot be matched since John Belushi left us too soon. Without the key component it should be left alone. Gender-flipping is not going to make any difference. Political move and nothing more. Female Ghostbusters did not teach Hollywood a lesson? There is no sexist bone in my body yet someone foolishly would believe my opinion is. Its sad. No Belushi no Blues Brothers.

I always kind of wished they'd bring in Jim Belushi. He'd have fit right in.

That will be confusing if it’s called “Bad Girls” because of the 1994 Drew Barrymore western film. But maybe I’m the only one that remembers/likes that movie. Oh well.

Blues Brothers was movie that changed my life. Almost.

But it was a one of kind thing, a product of very VERY different time. I don't think it can be replicated, especially without original director and actors.

Not to mention even original director was unable to replicate it success, so I don't think this project has any chances for success.

Blues Brothers isn't even that good, besides the bitching music and car chases.
