===''Blues Brothers 2000''=== {{main|Blues Brothers 2000}} With Landis again directing, the sequel to ''The Blues Brothers'' was made in 1998. It fared considerably worse than its predecessor with fans and critics, though it is more ambitious in terms of musical performances by the band and has a more extensive roster of guest artists than the first film. The story picks up 18 years later with Elwood being released from prison, and learning that his brother has died. He is once again prevailed upon to save some orphans, and with a 10-year-old boy named Buster Blues ([[J. Evan Bonifant]]) in tow, Elwood again sets about the task of reuniting his band. He recruits some new singers, Mighty Mack ([[John Goodman]]) and Cab ([[Joe Morton]]), a policeman who was Curtis' son. All the original band members are found, as well as some performers from the first film, including [[Aretha Franklin]] and [[James Brown]]. There are dozens of other guest performers, including [[Eric Clapton]], [[Steve Winwood]], [[Junior Wells]], [[Lonnie Brooks]], [[Eddie Floyd]], [[Wilson Pickett]], [[Isaac Hayes]], [[Sam Moore]], [[Taj Mahal (musician)|Taj Mahal]] and [[Jonny Lang]], [[Blues Traveler]], as well as an all-star [[supergroup (music)|supergroup]] led by [[B.B. King]] called the Louisiana Gator Boys. On the run from the police, [[Russian mafia]] and a [[racism|racist]] [[militia]], the band eventually ends up in [[Louisiana]], where they enter a [[Battle of the Bands]] overseen by a [[Louisiana Voodoo|voodoo]] practitioner named Queen Moussette ([[Erykah Badu]]). During a song by the Blues Brothers (a Caribbean number called "Funky Nassau"), a character played by [[Paul Shaffer]] asks to cut in on keyboards, which Murph allows. This marks the first time in a film that the Blues Brothers play with their original keyboardist.
