Check Out a New Poster for ‘Saturday Night’

A brand new poster for Saturday Night has been released. The poster was released on the same day it was announced that the film would hold its Canadian Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Wednesday, September 11.

“Director Jason Reitman captures the frenzied lead-up to the very first episode of Saturday Night Live as a motley bunch of then-unknown and untrained young comedians prepare to step into a revolutionary spotlight that will change history and make them all stars.
It’s the mid-1970s, and a flipbook of Watergate, Vietnam, and rising counterculture make everything old in America feel broken, and everything new feel scary as hell. And now, yet another certainty is about to crack. Because in 90 minutes’ time, live, from New York, it’s Saturday Night.

SATURDAY NIGHT dives headfirst into the frenzied hour-and-a-half before a clutch of unknown, untrained, unruly young comedians took over network television and transformed the culture. Saturday Night Live would go on to become the late-night institution that brought John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, and later Eddie Murphy, Tina Fey, Will Ferrell, and others to our screens. But tonight, it’s barely contained madness backstage, with Canadian Lorne Michaels (Gabriel LaBelle) desperately trying to channel the chaos towards a vision even he’s not sure of.”

The film stars Dylan O’Brien, Nicholas Braun, Finn Wolfhard, Cory Michael Smith, Lamorne Morris, Emily Fairn, Matt Wood, Ella Hunt, and Kim Matula. Saturday Night will open in theaters on October 11.
