To the Big Screen: “Saturday Night Live’s” classic “Conehead” family, portrayed on the series’ early days by Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin as parents Beldar and Prymaat, and Laraine Newman as teen-age daughter Connie, are returning, but this time to the big screen. Paramount Pictures began principal photography this month on a “Coneheads” film, with Aykroyd and Curtin reprising their roles, Newman portraying Laarta, Prymaat’s sister, and newcomer Michelle Burke as Connie. “SNL” executive producer Lorne Michaels, who also produced the “SNL” spinoff film “Wayne’s World,” is producing. Aykroyd is one of four co-writers on the screenplay.
