What is Jason Reitman’s SNL 1976 about?
“The film tells the true story of what happened that night behind the scenes in the moments leading up to the first SNL broadcast, retelling chaos and magic of a revolution that almost wasn’t, counting down the minutes in real-time to the infamous words, ‘Live From New York, it’s Saturday Night,’” reads the synopsis.
Reitman co-wrote the screenplay for SNL 1975 with Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire director Gil Kenan. Reitman and Kenan are also producing the movie alongside Jason Blumenfeld, Erica Mills, and Peter Rice.
