Live from New York, it's Saturday Night! The trailer for Jason Reitman's "Saturday Night" has been released, documenting the chaotic 90 minutes leading to the first broadcast of Lorne Michael's "Saturday Night Live" (SNL).
It's a story often overshadowed by the more memorable behind-the-scenes recollections of the variety show. Still, it's an important milestone enough to be immortalized in film as SNL celebrates its upcoming 50th anniversary. Watch the trailer below:
SNL creator Lorne Michaels will be portrayed by Gabriel LaBelle, leading an ensemble cast playing a who's who of the 1970s comedy scene that includes Dylan O’Brien (Dan Aykroyd), Cory Michael Smith (Chevy Chase), Rachel Sennott (Rosie Shuster), Lamorne Morris (Garrett Morris), Nicholas Braun (Jim Henson and Andy Kaufman), Finn Wolfhard (an NBC page), Jon Batiste (Billy Preston), Ella Hunt (Gilda Radnor), Cooper Hoffman (Dick Ebersol), Andrew Barth Feldman (Neil Levy), Naomi McPherson (Janis Ian), Willem Dafoe (David Tebet), J.K. Simmons (Milton Berle) and Kaia Gerber (Jacqueline Carlin).
"Saturday Night" will be released by Sony Pictures in New Zealand cinemas this November 7, 2024.
