To Todd Phillips, Re: Congrats on acquiring the rights to produce a John Belushi biopic

Hey Todd,

Congrats on acquiring the rights to produce a biopic of the late, great John Belushi. I read about it in the trades this morning. I know, you know, we all know you like showcasing great comedians in your movies. Are you already familiar with Sean Patton? If not, brush up on Sean Patton. Thanks!

Hope the rest of your summer is going well. I enjoyed seeing you on the set of Due Date last November, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished movie this November.

Sincerely,

Sean

  1. From that story:
    “When ‘Wired’ was subsequently turned into a 1989 feature starring Michael Chiklis, Belushi‚Äôs friends and family publicly boycotted the film, which then OD‚Äôd at the box office.”
    Classy!
