Sony Pictures has debuted the second trailer for Gil Keenan and Jason Reitman’s Saturday Night. The film, which recounts the first ever SNL broadcast, is currently slated for a UK release in October 2024.
At 11:30pm on October 11, 1975, a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television – and culture – forever. Directed by Jason Reitman and written by Gil Kenan & Reitman, Saturday Night is based on the true story of what happened behind the scenes in the 90 minutes leading up to the first broadcast of Saturday NightLive. Full of humor, chaos, and the magic of a revolution that almost wasn’t, we count down the minutes in real time until we hear those famous words…
