Pretty sure Belushi was going to play Ignatius in Confederacy of Dunces after filming Ghostbusters (in the Venkman role). Of course he died, and so did the production at that time. I think he would have been perfect for it.

Ferrell's name was supposedly thrown around recently for a movie scheduled a few years ago, but I think that fell apart. I'm not sure if he'd be right, at all, for the role.
