Jason Reitman is set to direct a film inspired by the insane opening night of 'Saturday Night Live.'
Coming to multiplexes near you, it's Saturday Night! A movie based on the chaotic opening night of Saturday Night Live is now in active development at Sony Pictures. Deadline is reporting that Jason Reitman is directing an original screenplay based on the real-life accounts of the opening night of SNL in 1975.
Reitman will be re-teaming with Gil Kenan, his co-writer on the highly successful Ghostbusters: Afterlife from 2001. The duo have conducted extensive interviews with all the living cast and crew members, as well as those behind the show's development, to produce the screenplay. Kenan will take over directing duties from Reitman on the sequel to Afterlife which is due to release this December.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT SNL is approaching its 50th anniversary. A late-night sketch comedy show, which comments irreverently on topical and political issues, it's become a cultural landmark of American comedy and has been the launching platform for a countless number of film and television stars over the decades, while A-list stars battle for the opportunity to host the show and perform the opening monologue.
The week leading up to the show bordered on disastrous, with a number of sketches requiring cutting due to 'issues of taste and decency' on one hand, and the risk of things going wrong on live television. The opening season would also feature short films by Albert Brooks, which would eventually be culled due to financial and creative reasons. The very first sketch to air was called 'The Wolverines', and it starred John Belushi.
George Carlin hosted the show, performing three monologues on the evening, and was unable to take part in any sketches due to being "completely stoned", according to the book Live from New York, and Paul Simon briefly appeared to promote his hosting stint the weekend after. Billy Preston and Janis Ian were the musical guests.
