John Belushi's death in 1982 sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry. By that point he was a certified comedy legend and the nature of his death raised controversy. In order to get to the truth of the matter, his widow hired Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward (https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/video/11709507878/Wired-Bob-Woodward-and-Michael-Chiklis) to investigate just how John died. Unfortunately for her, Woodward's investigation (https://moviechat.org/tt0098660/Wired/58c750c96b51e905f676fb92/Article-by-Belushi-Biographer-on-how-Woodward-botched-Wired) didn't exactly go the way she hoped (https://slate.com/culture/2013/03/bob-woodward-and-gene-sperling-what-woodwards-john-belushi-book-can-tell-us-about-the-sequester-scandal.html). His book (https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/the-controversy-over-bob-woodwards-belushi-bio-wired-37163/), Wired (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_(book)), was a brutal tell-all that delved heavily into the drug habits (https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1989/08/25/wired-beyond-belief/d7f569ac-f092-453d-b233-188bae27edd6/) of John and his friends. The book spared immediate outrage from people like Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray (https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/bill-murray-slams-john-belushi-172144332.html), but rose to the time of the best seller (https://www.nytimes.com/1988/05/27/movies/at-the-movies.html) charts. A producer named Edward S. Feldman (https://www.chicagotribune.com/1988/04/07/producer-is-wired-for-story-of-john-belushi/) bought the film rights (https://www.nytimes.com/1984/09/19/movies/independent-producers-buy-rights-to-wired.html), thinking he had just grabbed a surefire hit (https://www.avclub.com/my-year-of-flops-extra-innings-case-file-110-wired-1798214180), but hit roadblock after every corner (https://www.csmonitor.com/1989/0829/lwire.html). Learn about the making of the film (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2wFoPwXP1Q) and how the movie (https://unobtainium13.com/2017/03/18/a-movie-a-day-70-wired-1989-directed-by-larry-peerce/) almost killed the career (https://moviechat.org/tt0098660/Wired/58c750c86b51e905f676fb6f/Why-did-Aykroyd-targetblame-Chiklis-for-Wired) of Michael Chiklis (https://moviechat.org/tt0098660/Wired/58c750c86b51e905f676fb42/Is-Chiklis-Forgiven), before it even started.
